Special Gift

I’m a doll and a girl’s special delight!!!
In behalf of a lass who is pleased with my sight…
I express this sincere plight
Let her have me as a blessing, for such is right!*

I’m a doll and a girl’s desired gift!!!
All I want to do is give her a cheerful uplift…
So please pull her from self-pity’s rift 
As you sift your coins toward her bliss-shift!

I’m a doll with polka dots' dress and designed to be a girl’s treasure!!!
It’s against my will to rob her of her pure pleasure…
May you share what you have, devoid of pressure
For her to have me with love’s enclosure!

I’m a doll, and thankful to God for my appeal to a girl’s heart!!!
Thus, so grateful I am for your contribution and part
Be an answered prayer to a child who longs for me at the very start
Give me to her as you enable her “doll less” woes to depart!

*Proverbs 3:27 "Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it."

Andrew Fairchild Date: 1/22/2019 9:09:00 PM I once knew a little boy who had terrible problems in his family. Then, one day, I gave him a tiny basket of six 'trouble dolls' (you are supposed to tell one trouble to each doll). He said it worked! (Of course, I think it simply became his way of talking to God about his problems). Thank you for your wonderful poem and understanding of the way in which a doll can be sent to help a child!
