"The Doll"

 "The Doll"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

It sat there gathering dust

Forgotten but still waiting

Full of whispered promises 

and often regretful endings.

II

Held by so many hands

Their only friend in this place

Sooner or later they leave

And it waited for them in lace

III

Borrowed and broken and passed

Still into much tender hearts

Unjaded and still beating

It is there, gathering dust , still waiting.
