- My Annabel -
Deep in the closet where there is a dusty old shoebox
I take it out carefully.....lift the lid off
Inside the shoebox is my beautiful Annabel
Annabel is my Christmas present of
fifty years ago
My "sleeping doll" Annabel
Annabel has beautiful blue eyes,which are
closed when she`s sleeping
Poor Annabel now she can just close one eye
Annabel had beautiful yellow curls,now there
are no curls left
The curls are brushed away
One of the arms are almost torned off
but it`s there yet
Annabel how much fun and joy we had
How good it was for me,you were my best friend
Memories of the time we had together,make me
feel a tear on my cheek
I ask myself.....is it really that long ago
.... Annabel so beautiful you are
Sleep well Annabel
