A lost Friend Found

Looking through the tower door
Just a walk down the hall
In a dark forgotten corner
Leaning against the wall,

A long forgotten treasured friend
So lonely in her place
Is a doll called Christina,
Wearing a dress of satin and lace,

Opening up the tower door
Discovering the long forgotten toy
With a thick covering of Firefly dust
The girl gave a smile of joy,

She lifted up dusty Christina
And cleaned her pretty face
A smile spread across her lips
I have for you the very place,

The child took Christina
And loved her for many years
Through all the years of laughter
And the many sad long tears,

The young girl grew to a young lady
And Christina was with her all the way
Until a new little girl came into the tower
And took Christina home to play,

For Christina

From Annie.

Annie,

I liked this poem. It made me remember the friends that I have tucked away in my closet. I have several rag dolls that I can't bare to part with - a stuff fox that my brother pulled the tail off of - and many books that landed in my lap as the youngest. I am a Cancer and I keep everything sentimental.

Loving your poetry.
