Teddy Bear

I held the Teddy Bear you gave me

I held it snuggled close

Its times like these my honey

These memories upset me most

We came to clean and tidy

We came to sort and keep

Though it came very close

We two: we just didn’t weep

The road is long and winding

Some parts are even steep

But though we finally arrived there

This house we just cannot keep

So we must tidy up our lives now

We must decide on what must go

We must sort through these memories

Some we will just have to let go

26 years of life to sort through

26 years of laughter and of tears

Someone else will make a life here

Just like we did all those years ago
