Paper Doll #Ramblings

Wanted & liked... she makes everyone smile...
Nice & bright... she feels like sunshine...
Hot & cold... she lets her emotions unfold...
Tender & sweet... she lets her heart beat!

But she forgets... she is wrapped in cellophane...
She is a paper doll...
& they forget... she is to be handled with care...
She is a paper doll...

Bought off the shelf.. She is the favorite toy...
Loved like crazy... She is more than just a paper doll...
Together day in & out.. She is not to be shared...
But one day... she suffers a tear...

Worn out & torn... she lies in a corner...
Dust settles in... pushed into storage...
& one day its time for cleaning... she catches the eye...
crumpled & trashed... its the end of it all...

After all... She is just a paper doll!

  3. Your blog format does not encourage reading it. Eyes get strained.
