Poem Artwork


Dear Dolly, let me hold you tonight
Tell me everything will be allright
Mama just kissed me and left me here
She never returned, doesn't she care
On your head she had taped a note
No one ever told me what she'd wrote
Abandonment I heard someone say
As other children went for play

Dear Dolly, I don't know what to do
At least Mommy let me keep you
Why did she leave, I don't understand
I could do housework... I know I can
All I have now is you Dolly, to hold
I love you with my heart and soul
Promise me you won't ever leave
Or ever hurt me or deceive

Dear Dolly, you are now my best friend
We'll be together until the end
I don't know what fate has in store
Just that Mommy don't love me no more
Some say a new Mommy may take me away
It could be next year..or even today
I want my Mommy to come back for me
I'll be so good...Mommy you'll see

lovely poem Linda in rhyme and all. It your case it was your mommie, in my case it was my dad.

Dear old dad,
up and had,
left me sad
now I'm mad,
never said a word,
his word like a bird,
I guess it flew away,
9 years after my birthday.

This is sad but oh, so true and so often the case. Nothing hurts the soul like the hurt of a child. Well expressed Linda.

A heart-stopping gut-wrenching story, Linda, that I'm sure is repeated far more times than most of us know. You certainly captured the essence with this great write.
Best regards,
