 A porcelain doll with her flowing dark hair Green eyes that still sparkle with light In gown of soft velvet, silk ribbons and lace She graces the room every night... No hands to caress her, no soft tender words She wishes that she could but speak Instead she must keep her desires inside Letting none see the tears brush her cheek... The magic inside her still glimmers as when She first came to be long ago When delicate features bore promise of love 'Twas the one joy she dreamt she would know... She passed through the years into hands that belied All the hope that they gave at the start They were careful and left not a mark to be seen But such damage was done to her heart... They kept her alone in a cold silent world She became nothing more than a token Just a treasure to show and impress those who looked No one guessed that inside she was broken... 'Til one day she went to a faraway land Where she found that a love could be real In the right pair of hands with their soft loving touch Her longing heart started to heal... And now if you see her, you never would guess that she knew any heartache at all In her eyes love lights sparkle, and her face wears a smile She's emerged from the old broken doll... Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~S~ [This message has been edited by Sunnyone (09-16-2003 08:41 AM).] |

Are you saying it takes a doll to know a doll?  I enjoyed this very much, Sunny... there are layers of understanding here... |

Sunny You clever devil you - I had to read the other comments to verify what the meaning was. I am so glad that I knew the "old broken doll" and the "new beautiful doll". Nicely done! Ariana |

A cinderella story of the *heart.* Transformed by love that saw through to the real person she was inside. I loved this! Unfolded right before my eyes as hope for change, and second chances.

 (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this touched my heart so deeply because I used to feel like a broken puppet like Pinocchio, and all I wanted was to feel like a true living and breathing boy and finally before ending my life when I felt no one could ever understand me God finally made my wish come true simply by believing in Him and so ever since I have looked to Him! (sigh) Yay, I love the happy ending, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunnyone, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Hi lil Brother Noah!!! You'd be surprised how many of us feel like puppets, mainly because life doesn't allow for much control. But with faith, some things can be changed for the better, and we are both proof of that, huh? Thank you, Noah, and I love your replies!! ~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~S~ |

And now if you see her, you never would guess that she knew any heartache at all In her eyes love lights sparkle, and her face wears a smile She's emerged from the old broken doll... Oh yes, Sunny, you know that I know this. We have got to feel the same way inside... our words do show our deep love for our Honey's, don't they? Although you do say those words so much better than I do. You know that I love this, my friend. Hugs Ethel |
