The comfort against a storm,
The soft teddy bear I can reach,
Making me feel warm,
Our friendship never breached
Resilient and proud,
Loving me the way I am,
A pair of eyes to scan the crowd,
Helping me on the tram
Each day she is born,
Over time she is bred,
Tossed and torn,
From the bad things I said
Yet she is deeply strong,
Moving on from her past,
Accepting the things that were wrong,
Hoping that it will never last
Empathetic and reflective,
She was there in my sorrow,
Broadening my perspective,
She gave me strength for the morrow
Gentle, yet powerful,
She takes us under her wing,
Impulsive, yet careful,
Giving us vigor to sing
Stretching her branches to provide new homes,
Providing sunlight for those to nurture and grow,
Beyond the Cities, how far she roams,
Beyond the land, how much she knows
It hurts to hurt her,
It stings you deeply,
I will clean up her burrs,
As long as you can help guide my journey with me.
