Stuffed

 

Two toy animals

For years loved

Worn by play

In tiny hands

Missing both

Are their eyes

Seams spitting

Deeply loved still

By a little man

Till one day

One was gone

Thrown away

As too old

And too worn

Still was loved

Still deeply missed

Woke a fear

In a little man

Of the wear

On the other

Hid it away

No more played

Kept it safe

Had it stay

Long years hidden

Till a man

Took out his toy

 Still deeply loved
