Porcelain doll
There in the corner
What must you have seen
Your eyes, faded
Your dress, torn
Your hair, dirty
Your face, cracked,
But still you smile
So beautiful
So fragile
A treasure no one knows but me
Let me take you home
Fill the scars
Wipe away the years
Put you on the mantle
For all the world to see
You deserve to be cherished
For all you’ve known
For all you’ve lived
Still smiling
An alabaster vision
the toll that time has taken
Will take work to erase
But how it will be worth it
To see you as you were meant to be
