Grandma where is dolly?
*Rocky a bye rock a bye* *Love is us being young* *Eyes don�t see as well* *Heart not as fast* *Memories a long* *Time last* *Seventy years of love* *Doll has aged none* *From its treasured place* *Pulls her doll to embrace* *Doll waiting for her* *Special touch* *Smiles returns* *The love* *Rocky a bye rock a bye* *Love is us being young* *In her eyes see* *The joy given* *and received* *Hole left in the bag* *to allow her doll* *to breathe* *Doll knows* *its role* *to the cedar chest* *it goes* *Rocky a bye rock a bye* *Love is us being young* *Resting there* *in honored place* *Painted smile* *upon her face* *Waiting for* *the next* *embrace* *Each though* *of youth survives* *inside a aging* *heart still very* *much alive* *Rocky a bye rock a bye* *Love is us being young* *Wonder of God* *Years of love* *memories tied* *to places of* *true joy* *childhood pride* *Now don�t you move* *wait for my return* *age is childhood* *not adult concern* *Rest well my darling*
