The ragdoll layed with the other on the bed The little girl chose the other instead The ragdoll looked at itself and knew why It's body was dirty, it was missing an eye The new doll could wet, it even could talk If it felt so, it could get up and walk Or the doll could sit there just being cute Much more than the ragdoll seemed as a mute But then new dolls will break on their first day The ragdoll with nothing simple to say To ease the frown on the little girl's face It knew she needed something to embrace Take me! Oh, Take me! I'm right over here Down the girl's cheek ran a shimmering tear The little girl hugged the ragdoll for awhile Both spirits were lifted on both faces a smile. You know the "Never Ending Story"? They're still telling it! |

Oh, I like this. It reminded me of a story I read of a little girl and her favorite stuffed rabbit. She had a birthday and got new toys and forgot about him. Then of course there was a happy ending when she found him under the bed and sewed up his fading smile and had a tea party with the rest of her dolls and stuffed animals. Too much? :} Joy Our doubts are traitors, And make us loose the good we oft might win By fearing to attempt. ~Shakespeare |

Oh, this touched me, I loved it, I have ragdolls...but these two lines----I know how this doll feels: "Take me! Oh, Take me! I'm right over here Down the girl's cheek ran a shimmering tear"  "I walked beside the evening sea and dreamed a dream that could not be." George William Curtis |

Liked it muchly Walt It reminded me of my old cuddly toy... Peter Panda. I hugged him so much and dragged him around behind me wherever I went. His eyes fell off and were magically replaced with little soft yellow buttons and one night, he wasn't there any more. I was devastated, but then, next night, he was back again wearing a brand new set of pj's carefully sewn on to hold him together.*phew* that just saved me loads of money on a psychiatrist... thanks man!

Nicely done here walt! Wow.....I loved this wonderful tale! It's just too bad the little girl comes back to her "old love" when new ones break or aren't fit........too bad she just doesn't stick with her old one.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |
