I might have had a favorite bear to cuddle
needed to refer to some comfort..to huddle
away from the chill bite of winter winds
hidden somewhere where there was traquility.

That a parakeet's company meant so much
it succumbed to desease..there was a hush
some tears were shed..
hearts spang a leak..bled
consoled with another to take its place
the corner of the living room..offered space.

The need to write to a special friend
and say 'stick around to the very end.'
consolation broke when distance divided
reality spoke up when flight took hold
experience came by the book..grew bold.

might have had a favorite game around the house
and read beyond curfew..silent as a mouse
removed from the chill bite of winter winds
buried beneath the covers on a dark lonely night.

grew to know how to console another's sorrow
reconcile the past and see a brighter tomorrow
developed a knack of seeing myself from the outside
put some peace between me and trivial circumstances
this material world...is all but a brief instance
so why nuture heart pains
life has its strains
wiser to be gentler on myself.

I like that and the way you ended this.

Your writing is unique as your words are wise, they give pause to the poet who writes himself.
