Stan

I took you to the flowers,

I took you to the wood,

I tried to make you happy,

I did everything I could.

I brought you your favorite snack,

I got your favorite toy,

I tried to make you happy,

I hoped to bring you joy.

But you never even tried,

To smile a little bit,

you crossed your little arms,

You threw a little fit.

I still love you everyday,

And do everything I can,

Hoping I'll see a smile,

My teddy bear named Stan.

What am I doing today?

Supporting old mushrooms.

Appreciating chance encounters with grass.

Seeing the lightness in everything.

and not rushing away from any of it.

None of us are willing to fall.
