I wrote this one shortly after looking at some old dolls. I love them.
Dolls (4-10-2010)


Flesh of porcelain
And eyes of glass
Made for you and me.
Back before diamonds
Were forever.
Back before you
Worried about politics.
Back before you
Worried about religion.
Back before you
Worried about money.
Back before you
Worried about death.

Friends to the end,
Good and true.
Yes, to the end.
They are there
When you cry.
They keep all
Of your secrets.
Best friends.
And even when
They are old and worn,
They hold on.
They hold on for you.
Because they’re your friends.
