Night time comes

The stars shine bright in the sky at night
The cuddly teddy bear tucked in beside the child
The whispering begins as the light goes out
The tiny low voice is telling teddy all the cares of the day
Did I get in trouble? Was I good? It was not my fault
Seems the same words each starry night the teddy listens in the eyes of the child
No answering back! No disagreeing! Just silently listening in the eyes of a child
The morning dawns the child stirs again the whispering starts
I will be good, I won’t get in trouble, it’s not my fault, and the teddy listens in the eyes of the child
One day maybe just one day I will get it right. I won’t ignore what I am told; I know it is for my own good,
Night time falls the stars come out in to bed with cuddly teddy start to whisper. In teddy I can trust
The lights go out its time to sleep may be tomorrow I will be good it was not my fault
The teddy is silent listening to the child’ the teddy is safe to speak to in the eyes of the child.
