(I wrote this poem when I was 14 years old. It's fun to look back at what we wrote when we were a bit younger.)

Ode to My Barbie

You remind me of dear childhood days
Hair and cheeks glowing under sun's warm rays
My best friend Elaine and I had fun
Braiding your hair into a lovely li'l bun

Those nasty boys next door told us
Barbie dolls ain't no good at all
They're lacey and frilly and too much fuss
But Elaine and I, our eyes would just roll

One day, Elaine came to me
"I can't play with dolls anymore," she said
I went home wondering and with my eyes red
Elaine had believed what those nasty boys said

I didn't see Elaine for quite some time
So I decided to pay her a visit
When I knocked,she wasn't there
No, I couldn't find her anywhere

Will you be like Elaine, Barbie?
Will you leave me someday?
Don't throw that question back to me
I know true friends should always stay.

This is cute. My cousin loves her Barbies. Hope Barbie wasn't like Elaine in the end. btw, since you said you were 14 when you wrote this, how old are you now? (if you don't mind my asking)

Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know....

(big angel hugs) Awwwwwwww, I loved Barbies as a little boy and was happy to see my sisters play with them and I actually played with them too, yay! (smiles) I know that isn't what the typical boy does but I didn't like wrestling and football and all that because it seemed too violent to me and dolls were innocent! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jasmine, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
