Friend, teddy bear

Friend, teddy bear

reaching home

driving a deserted stretch

drained 5 hrs, so dear

bilked check points

weary, tired, hit bed, dropped dead

a plane, siren, is i hear

numb eardrums

dust, debris, smoke floating

all be fine, was my prayer

mustered courage, crawled out

dusted off dirt, hastily

keen eyes searching, calling louder

piled debris, helping hands

safe, secure, was little one

& above, her friend teddy bear
