The Lost Doll

 I'm glad to meet you! I'm hopefully lost.
     I was accidentally abandoned here.
         You're thinking I look adorable,
   But trust me, I'm sadder than I appear.

   Dear stranger, I beg you, string me up
          So that I can be easily found.
  Yikes, look at me! I'm as dirty as a pig.
      I'm so tired of lying on the ground.

    I wish to return as soon as possible
       To a little girl crying her eyes out.
I'm drifting farther and farther from home.
      The wind keeps blowing me about.

 Dear stranger, I don't want to be replaced.
        Help me get back where I belong,
   Lest I'm completely forgotten; my bond
   With my toddler friend is just too strong.
