Lost dolls, forgotten in the attic, Neglected and left to gather dust, Their once-loved beauty is losing its magic. Their appeal is fading as fashions adjust. But one day, they were rediscovered. Their box opened with a gasp of surprise. Among the dolls, one had been recovered. Her timeless charm, with no compromise. She was not like the others, you see. Her beauty was not based on trends. Her allure was not ephemeral or fleeting. And her appeal would never depend. Her porcelain skin was still flawless. Her hair still shone like a golden sun. Her eyes still sparkled with enchantment. She was a treasure, second to none. And so she was dusted and polished. And displayed in a place of honor, The timeless doll was cherished. Her value is forever a wonder. In a world that's ever-changing, life, with such love wide-ranging.

We humans are a funy lot. We scurry to aquire the latest of everything. Lines a mile long waiting for the Apple store to open on the day its latest gadget is first on sale. Yet so many treasures are found buried, neglected and forgotten, from times gone by. Love so wide ranging! Brilliantly written my dear Lassard. (The lavender field is amazing I can almost smell it).
