With Teddy this morning.

With Teddy this morning.

He said…

‘Well…

It may not be for me to say

But you do have a lot to be thankful for.

You both love one another.

Make each other laugh and cry…

But in a good way,

Because you care

So much it hurts.

When did you ever

Want to be somewhere

Other than where she is,

By her side.

You never get bored

Can you believe that?

Even doing nothing

But reading a book

Or doing the crossword

And such.

Of course,

As an added bonus,

She is still something to see

Even after all these years

And so hot a man could singe

His eye brows

If he got too close.

Not that he would,

She is only hot for you.

I can see it in her eyes

And the way she

Holds on to your arm,

Plants a kiss,

Full on the lips,

No matter who is there

To see it.

How did you

Ever manage that?

So if you were to ask me,

Not that you should,

But if you did,

My advice would be

To just enjoy what you have.

And never stop

Nurturing the love,

It is my guess

If you keep doing

What you always do,

You will never lose it.

But what do I know

After all

I am only your

Worn out old friend

Teddy,

The bear…’
