J Clinton Smith Poet Prose Poetry

Rag Doll

A rag doll...one of dreams
is loved and cherished... 
Yet, what is not seen
is a small tear in the seams

Passing days 
and times of play
drop small grains 
of pain and reveal delay

In loving hands 
days have passed 
more grains drop
becoming part of the past 

This rag doll....once full of dreams
now empty from a small tear 
in the seams, sits lifeless
on the shelf eternally smiling
