A Lost Object's Lament

In pockets deep, no longer held,

A forgotten friend, a story quelled.

A button nose, once bright and bold,

Now lost and cold, a tale untold.

I used to bring a joyful smile,

A comfort soft, a teddy's guile.

Through laughter's peak and tears that streamed,

A loyal friend, so it would seem.

But playgrounds fade, and seasons turn,

New faces come, for lessons learned.

A misplaced hug, a careless toss,

Left in the dust, a forgotten loss.

The sun beats down, the rain pours free,

A silent plea, unseen by thee.

I dream of hands, so warm and small,

To hold me close and love me all.

Oh, take me back to days of glee,

A child's embrace, a memory.

For in this world, so vast and wide,

A lost toy's heart, forever cries.
