The Silent Doll
For years you laid by my side,
Never lonely in the cold night.
Silently you listened when I cried,
Close you snuggled in my frights.
Days grew long, and so did I,
Beside the bed you were placed.
Now as a big girl, to no longer cry,
All such a rush at such a pace.
Now in school, far from home,
No friend have I by my side.
Often at night, when all alone,
Do you hear the tears I cry?
Down the aisle as a bride,
Tears of joy welled within.
Yet, something missing inside,
Mother, my doll would you send?
Now a golden grey, I await the end,
My children seldom find time for me.
Alone and afraid, how I miss my friend,
Oh, just once more, in her silence to be.
And from the attic within the dark,
A dolls muffled cry is heard.
Then silence, as her soul departs,
the doll now snuggled, without a word.
