A velveteen rabbit, a
Christmas gift,
Had been real to the child
for an hour
Till he dropped it for an
electronic toy
Presented to him by
another guest.
The child played it as if
it was real.
A stone is a god when it
is believed.
An art is real when it is
endeared.
You are real to one you
are loved by.
It’s what happens to you
that makes you real.
It’s not what you are that
makes you real.
You are real to one who
loves or trusts you.
Love and trust do not come
without a cost.
