Notes About The Poem

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

Weep No More- Doll

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
