Constance La France Poet Verse

Remembering Still

 
~*~

remembering still,
the little girl that was,
so lost, lonely and me,
years ago . . . .

on the dappled porch,
humming songs to myself,
all my dolls pretty, while,
birds twitter . . .

china cups for all,
filled with tea not too hot,
wearing grandma's old dress,
make pretend . . . 

I tell them stories,
all the pretty dolls, just,
whispering so softly,
my secrets . . . 

raven hair hanging,
in a tangled sweet mess,
the dolls all quiet, while,
my tears fall . . . .
