Forgive me for posting my previous writes . I have been sick with a bad cold this week, and haven't felt like writing. This poem was selected for Muse Whispers this year, so its special to me. Love n Huggs to all!
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
This is so sad that this goes on...very well written Linda as all your work is such.

So sad. Its hard to understand a mother walking away from a child. It would be like walking away from your heart and soul. Hope your feelng better soon. Great write.
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,

Very emotive and powerfully heartfelt . . . excellent as always!!

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.
