Krista's Prompts - 2. Prompt 349

Prompt 349: Favorite Toy

Plush and perfect,

With fur as white as snow.

Hair a dark purple,

With some love would glow.

At first you smelled new,

Like cardboard and plastic.

You were a gift.

I thought you were fantastic.

When I gave a little squeeze,

You would sing a song.

Your hair would light up,

And dance along.

I would hold you when I slept,

You were brave and strong.

I didn’t fear the darkness.

I slept all night long.

As time went by,

Your softness went away.

It took new batteries,

For your songs to play.

I carried you for years,

One day you were gone.

I looked for you forever,

Wanting to hear your song.

When you stayed away,

I grew up.

I forgot the songs,

That you would play.

You were a favorite toy,

If you were here,

The songs I think,

Would bring my kids great joy.

For they don’t make toys like you,

For girls and boys.

Sad they’ll never know,

Such sweet happiness and joys.
