Pinky
A tattered pink bunny
Matted fur and
A single deflated foot
A hole on the bottom
Made by a big yellow dog
Those shiny eyes have seen
Tears
Smiles
And awkward teenage years
16 years of being by my side
Opa’s longest lasting gift
Those long ears have heard
Cries
Laughter
And off-key singing
Opa has passed
But you have stayed
Your small smile
Comfort in every way
A small pink bunny
A therapist
A security blanket
A constant friend
Opa’s greatest gift

Me
My family
