Stuffed Bear
I am
a build-a-bear.
I
wonder how it feels to walk around.
I
hear the children coming back for me.
I
see the other animals.
I want
to go to school and learn something new.
I am
dressed in all sorts of nice clothing.
I pretend
to play school and sing and dance.
I
feel the soft covers on me.
I
touch my owner and her arms.
I
understand the feeling of being alone and nobody around me.
I
say “I want to go to school too!”
I
dream that I am real.
