love poem about 'used' cuddly toy?

987654

OK, vague I know.

Was at a wedding recently & one of the readings was about a toy that had been bashed about a bit but it was the rough edges that made it more loveable - I think!

Anyone have any ideas what it may have been. Have had a bit of a search myself but can't find anything.

Thanks in anticipation.

Was it humorous? Sentimental?
Roughly how long (i.e. very short - medium - long - very long??)

Can you not ask the couple whose wedding you were at?

I think it will have been the Velveteen Rabbit -

Thanks Dita, that was it.

Can't ask the couple as they are away so thought I would ask the helpful people on here in the meantime.

I saw Toy Story 3 last week...blubbed like a baby at the end, as did a colleague at work (she's 36, I'm 45!) But another colleague said she found it schmaltzy and was unmoved. But the theme of the boy growing up and leaving to go to college hit me as my DS1 goes to uni this autumn If you've had kids that are no longer young (especially if you had them at the sort of age that they played with Buzz and Woody as toddlers) then you have to have a heart of stone not to cry
