Ralph would sleep with me
and wake me up at dawn,
Every morning when I awaken
I realize he is gone.

I put him to sleep some time ago
but he is still in my heart,
little did I realize how attached I'd get
right from the very start.

I got him for my Mom, when my father died
and then he came to me,
After Mom died, he became close to me
and that is the way I thought it would always be.

Even though it has been some time
I can still feel like he's here,
I know deep in my heart
that he will always be near
