joy.....

it seems I have misplaced "Joy".....
can't seem to find her anywhere

I thought I caught a glimpse of her a few times...
but I was mistaken

if you know where she is...can you let me know?

a little girl came into the store the other day

she brought along her cherished baby doll

it was thread bare and missing hair

rough around the edges, but full of her loving care

the girl came and went, but the doll was left behind

wedged in a cubby hole...a little hard to find

when I touched the doll...I felt all the love

this doll must have been pure joy and comfort to that little girl

so glad I was able to contact her and return the doll

the re-connection made me bawl

I hope I can find my Joy soon

determined to keep looking
