Rabbit

I have a friend, made of wool and thread
Who is rather dear to me,
He sits there, silent still, on my bed
For all the world to see

He sits there all alone,
So quiet yet with such thought
His glassy, beaded eyes like stone
His small, stitched mouth pulled taut

And even though one lonely leg
Is longer than the next,
Even though he can’t sing nor beg
He stands tall above the rest

His woolly fur is musty brown
One ear flops down his face
His brow sinks in a frown
His one whisker out of place

He sits there by my side
His bobbled paw in mine
As I spill a troubled tide
Until I’m feeling well and fine

Worries, secrets, joys and tears
Are spoken with tearful breath
Love, sadness, dreaded fears
Are heard upon by ears of deaf

Though his heart is cotton
And his glassy eyes don’t see
He will never be forgotten
As he means so much to me

More than any friend or foe
He still stands number one
He never answers back at me
Never questions me for fun

He is the only one who understands
Who stays in the same place
His yarn heart is never changing
Neither is his woollen face

My best friend is made of wool and thread
He is rather dear to me,
He sits there, silent still, on my bed
For all the world to see

once again, thanks for reading and crit. =]
