Gray and soft,
Fuzzy and warm.
Lies a baby elephant
on the tan floor.
Company it will bring
and a friend to hug.
But baby elephant isnt alone.
For he has a friend
of his own.
Our own little Baby
met this elephant
one day.
And since then they
couldnt astray.
You ask for one
though really your getting two.
They love you mom,
as do we.
We all hope you
Get better soon.
So here's little Baby
and elephant
for you!

The author's comments:
I had wrote this poem for my mom who's in ICU. Before she got worse, she asked me to bring her these things (stuffed elephant and a pic of our dog Baby).
I couldnt get them to her for now, so this poem should do for now.

Be encouraged, your mom can feel your love and understands your sad. Keep writing.
