The Purple Teddy
When she was 12
She got terrible news
"Why must this happen to me?"
She hadn't a clue
She was only in Middle School
It wasn't the time
She wasn't ready to say "goodbye"
but luckily the death bell didn't chime
For one whole year
there were no signs
no more cancer
once again happy times
But then it struck
she wasn't ready
"not again" she cried
that's when she bought the purple teddy
It was for her momma
that's what she thought
then years later
a great lesson it taught
Her momma survived
the second attack
but didn't make it
when it came back
She knew it was for the best
her momma wasn't in pain
but here she was
what had she gained?
As she mourned
and she wept
her daddy asked "do you want this?"
the purple bear she kept
The bear taught her
though her momma
wasnt there
that doesnt mean
she's not there
If you haven't figured out, "she" in every stanza cept the last is me, and "her" in the last stanza is me, and "she" is my momma.
