Where’s Teddy?

My teddy keeps me safe at night
Fighting monsters from under the bed
Keeping away the nightmares
That steal into my sleeping head

Teddy is not as brown as he was
His nose fell off, he lost an eye
Mum sewed them back on for me
To make sure I wouldn’t cry

Sometimes Teddy falls down
Between the bed and the wall
Once I left him at preschool
When I was very small

Now I can’t find my Teddy
I’ve been looking for him since noon
I’m sure I’d find my Teddy
If  I just cleaned up my room.
I wrote this poem for my son who wanted me to do something about him and his teddy. It his drawing of teddy as the prieview. Teddy has been missing for a few days now. I hope he is just somewhere in the house.

Edit: Teddy turned up. He was hiding under a dress up fireman's helmet in the toy cupboard!

I'm sure Teddy will turn up when he's ready to - they wander off occasionally.....
