My Best Friend Peter

Peter was my first best friend,

The most dignified Teddy Bear…

He was born with neither feet or hands,

Yet I loved him and didn’t care.

Decades later he wears the suit,

I wore when I was two…

He wasn’t like my newer friends,

Who changed clothes when they grew.

He sits atop my dresser,

Placed carefully, just so…

I’ll never forget his friendship,

Some sixty plus years ago.
