35. Sonnet to TeddyShark
          (Power of Love)

Not just a graphic illustration or plush stuffed toy,
mere entertainment for little girl or boy.
With lessons to teach, be still and enjoy,
and don’t be surprised if at first, shy and a little coy.

Servant leader, meek and mild;
powerful warrior, fierce and wild;
magical companion, secret place,
help you transcend time and space.

Truly authentic, a mystical mage,
but above all a spiritual sage.
A small sample, variety of roles;
its true mission: hunter/gatherer of souls.

First learn the parts: feather, shark, bear, and snake.
Then you can choose: snooze and lose or to the pearl awake.
