Abbu and Teddy (a poem for little ones)


Abbu was a little boy,
who like all boys loved playing with toys,
one b'day he was gifted a teddy bear,
Abbu named it 'Teddy',but he couldn't find time to spare.
Teddy would cry all day
and wait to get to play,
with his sweet friend,
but to his loneliness there seemed no end.
Day in and day out,
Abbu was busy throughout,
he struggled to make time,
and this didn't suit Teddy fine.
All Teddy ever expected was for Abbu to be a good companion,
but Abbu's parents wanted Abbu to be an academic champion,
sad and bored,Teddy decided to leave,
ofcourse his heart was filled with grief.
Teddy couldn't even bring himself to say goodbye,
because he knew it would be hard to not cry,
Teddy after much thought, stepped out of Abbu's home and ran,
away and forever to a faraway land.
But all along Teddy kept wondering,
about how Abbu must be doing,
without Teddy his good friend,
and wondered if this was a befitting end.
Teddy couldn't get over and all along felt,
that he should never have left,
the lonely boy,
because Teddy was his only stuffed toy.
He then decided to head home and now for always,
after Teddy's return Abbu also made time and found varied ways,
of keeping his friend entertained,
now tell me,don't you love how the story ends?
(Abbu,I'm asking you sweetheart)

Abbu's always asking me to write a poem or a story for him,with him as a character and since Abbu loves his teddy bear which my mother gifted him on his third b'day,I thought I'll write about their story.I think Abbu likes Teddy more because it is his Nana's gift.So this one's for Abbu,hope you like it too.Thanks(and yes,I know it's more like a nursery rhyme).
