The Ceramic bunny doll

[A/N: Inspired by the novel, the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. This is also for my spirit guide and friend, Edgar. As appeared on songofmanyseasons.]


He is a small ceramic bunny
and he danced for Sarah Ruth,
poor sick little Sarah Ruth who held him
so gently and sing and read for him
teaching him all the things she knows

And she is wonderful to him
because he has a deep sadness to him
and it clung to him sorely until it becomes madness
For he entertained the nobles and didn't care for him,
then they tossed him to the trash
and that's when they loss him and his heart died
his heart died a terrible death

He wandered as a lost vagrant, poor and lost soul,
tormented by misfortune
he entertain the poor and the homeless
and then this is how he found her

He danced and he sang to her until he could not dance no more
Sarah, Sarah Ruth, she filled him with so much sadness,
and yet so much joy

Because her Love for him makes him Real
while the rest of the world was cruel to him
because he was a vain and arrogant bunny

And if there is so few things rare in this world
it was the girl's pure love for someone so cruel and unknind as to he was
and he was considered an ugly bunny
but she, not she, she didn't care for he is ugly
as long he provide her love and care from his heart
for she so loved him
and so did he, and while he isn't grateful for the world and neither cared for it
for he and her exist in a dream

He's deeply grateful to her
to the point he rather kneel at her feet and at her lap
protecting her until the day she died

So for that reason,
he made a vow to keep his love pure and true
for Sarah Ruth
