Stitched Up

The porcelain doll sat, droopy and dropped,
little dress worn with spaces and dots,
round cheeks all covers in spots.
Eyes so sad, depressed and blotted,
tears running down a nose so snotted.

But then came a hand, furry and soft,
of a sweet teddy bear offering his sweater,
to wrap around the poor doll's shivering arms.
He picked her up, brought her to his loft,
held her gently and sang a song.

And there she sat as he mended her dress,
stitched her right up and filled in the holes
of a delicate heart once ripped to shreds.
He gave her a hug, then a kiss,
never to leave her side again.
