Lost and Found Doll
Cuddly Paulette Doll with sweet smiling zest
Has found herself a gracious home that's blest
In our orphanage of compassion’s nest
Where she became my great gift, indeed best.
Paulette Doll was once lost to dirt-filled pest
Yet was recovered toward cleansing quest
Purified, sanitized to the fullest
For restoration’s glow, freshly purest.
In me as new owner, she feels safest
Since I call her, “My Darling Doll, dearest”
Now, Paulette Doll always wears pretty vest
While we both meet the Lord in prayer crest.
Paulette Doll and I rejoice* with the rest
Along orphans who hold dolls to our breast
Thanking God for fellowship bonding fest
Making us belong midst love so warmest!
*Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord...
