Teddy's Thoughts.

#POATTIC-7    #SuperWoman

 .

I’m Teddy! Been living on your bed,

For the past thirty years.

Watched you grow, your wings spread,

Saw you flourish, felt your fears.

.

I’ve admired you sewing your wedding dress,

To save a few pennies.

Mourned with you when, due to stress,

You lost your first baby.

.

Cried with you when you soaked your pillow,

All through the fights,

With your lover, your fellow.

Yet, each morn you woke up bright.

.

Marvelled at your amazing willpower,

When he lost his job due to a nervous breakdown.

You took on the reins, toiled each hour.

You always had your feet on the ground.

.

Now I am your daughter’s cuddly bear.

I catch you staring into the mirror.

Superwoman? I dare say I do not care.

You are an amazing woman, and that’s just super!
