Susie's rag-doll
Do you remember
how you used to fold me?
so close to your heart
as you were falling asleep.
The secrets that you told me
your deepest feelings, dreams,
memories of you that I will keep
to remind you when you hold me.

So cute — yes we need our rag dolls – no matter how old we are.
Fantastic writing… I think everyone can relate to it.
@ Barbara just think how much love gets invested in rag dolls and teddy bears, a preparation for later life?

@Avatar hi, welcome to my little bloggy
Sweet.
I thought it might catch google’s search engine’s eye but no luck yet.
That is totally sweet and lovely…and how appropriate that the music playing behind me right now is the Beatlles’ All You Need is Love.
Hi Ella your man has won the white house since last we met, it’s always a pleasure to see you.
This brings back memories of my childhood. Thank you
Aw, who out-lived who Maureen between your rag-doll and your teddy bear?
it”s sweet,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I love this. It really touches my heart.
I love the pictures too.
I was never a doll-child.
But the poem just really affects me for some reason.
@Ryan hi thanks foor visiting-have a good week
@Firerocket Heyy, there is a sense in which dolls and teddy bears are substitutes for a friend, a lot of hugs and love gets expended on them .
