The Cold Night
Mother tries to light a fire using
a spindle,
Which could provide heat n
light.
For a freezing snow storm
which grew
Would not let them survive the
night
At last she got the fire started
and looked around
Their empty home
And exclaimed,"If only I had
another log of wood"
The girl unaware that their life's
hourglass was running
Out of sand,
Watched her mom struggle
which immensely hurt her.
She though little ,understood
her mom's words
The only doll she had was of
wood.
She laid her doll on the fire ,
Smiling to herself ,stepped
away.
With both tears of sadness and
pride her mom
Knew not how to react
For she may never be able to
buy another doll
Then her daughter who was
just four
Said,"I am a big girl now,I
don't need dolls."
Then she caressed her in her
lap all night long
As she was after all her
beautiful,priceless doll..
