Choices Laid Bear

Little girl ghost with the raggedy bear

Where do you wish to go?

They say there are two directions

One up and one below.

~*~

I couldn’t leave ole raggedy bear

Where would he get to stay?

I love him so much and he needs me here

How could I go away?

~*~

Run little girl and leave me behind

Raggedy bear spoke in a voice that was gruff

This man is wicked and a danger to you

I won’t stop loving and your love for me is enough

~*~

I am no danger to you, little girl

I only offer a choice

You can come and stay with me

It only needs be said with your voice

~*~

Run little girl ghost

Run while you can

I will stay and fight for your soul

From this very dangerous man

~*~

I will stay with you dangerous man

If you let my little girl go free

I couldn’t follow her anyway

I can learn to love even you, I guarantee

~*~

I am a lonely man, raggedy bear

I would be pleased if you stayed

Trapped between realms is a lonely place

Sometimes I grow afraid

~*~

Raggedy bear leapt and wrapped the man in an embrace

Little girl ghost disappeared in a puff

A smile lit upon her lips as she faded away

Knowing that ole raggedy bear had love enough
