The Gift
A little box arrived the other day The outside of it was torn and frayed
The label did say a gift for you Open it careful because it's not new
Holding the package with a bit of fear Wondering what's inside will it give me a
tear?
Wishing in secret for the best gift of all To my surprise it was a sweet little doll
A namesake it said on the card as I read I smiled and giggled and my face turned red
A gift for my birthday it was not to be I don't know the reason it was not said to
me
I looked at her face so pretty and sweet She had porcelain hands and pretty boots on
her feet
She wasn't very tall for that matter rather small
In a cabinet she fits with the rest of them all
I looked at her again and couldn't believe She was sent to my home and given to me
I look at her smile and her fancy dress She is so pretty and elegantly blessed
Someone was thinking of me that day When the package arrived in that special way
I hugged everyone who I thought it could be Who would have sent such a thoughtful gift
to me?
Now I have a collection that is complete A father, a mother and baby how sweet
