Milly Moll Is Missing - Ld

We’ve picnicked at the local park
It’s time to go, as it’s getting dark
But Lucy’s lost her small rag doll
And can’t sleep without Millie Moll

We have to find Lucy’s special toy
The roundabout doesn’t bring us joy  
We search the swings, climb the slide
Please find my doll, poor Lucy cried

Tears start to drip down Lucy’s face
Her doll has vanished without trace
Rain is falling, our clothes get damper
So I go to pack up our picnic hamper

Beside the cookies I find Millie Moll
Look Lucy, here’s your favorite doll
Oh I’m so sorry mummy, guess I forgot 
But she loves those cookies such a lot!

A beaming smile lights up Lucy’s face
The rain turns heavy and so we race
Along the muddy path to our front door
Lucy has her doll, she’s safe once more

Richard Evans August 10, 2023 at 9:31 AM I have always been of the notion that poetry should be mandatory in pre-K through high school and this poem would be a lovely start.

Mystic Rose Rose June 25, 2023 at 6:41 AM You tell a lovely story Jan, and you reminded me of the time my daughter lost her favorite stuffed mouse, we had to go back to the mall and get it or she could not sleep lol, nice one.
