Doll or person...with a little love and care it can change their world :)

I was walking through the city streets When I passed a foursome gang Who were playing with a Tonka truck And an old raggedy doll that sang She sang about her unhappiness Because her reddened eyes were crossed And she sang about her loneliness Because the raggedy dolls been lost The foursome tried to cheer her up By dressing her up all in pink Then when they tried to dry her lashes Her eyes began to blink The gang of four were children, you see All about the age of five They thought that if they fixed her up That she might come alive The only little girl in the bunch Well, she knew just what to do She cleaned her up and painted her nails So that she looked pretty and new The doll now sang of happiness Because she felt all fit and sound And she sang of not being lonely no more Now that finally she's been found

Charles! Oh, charles! I HAD ONE OF THOSE VERY DOLLS! S wasknown as (a)“Tiny Tears” (doll). She may even have been my first & only doll. It was around 1956, in a time when kids had only a handful of toys, not a mountain of them. I recall my Tiny Tears with so much love, so vividly, she seems right now in my hands. This poem is a time traveler. Fav. I thank you! A Masterful penning! xoxo
