Once upon a time
in a land far away
A dollhouse sat alone
No children there to stay
The nursery was empty
Babies grown and left
And the lonely dollhouse
Was really quite bereft
She sits there dreaming
Waiting for that day
When little hands once again
Will come to her to play.

Its a toy story.
ReplyDeletePoor little house! I'm sure someone will come again to play. :-)
ReplyDeleteQuite poignant. Mrs. C. had a dollhouse her parents gave her and we'd been lugging it around for years. She finally made the daughter of a co-worker very happy by gifting it to her.
ReplyDeleteAll toys and dollhouses should be loved by some child!
ReplyDeleteDoll houses always hold a lot of memories
ReplyDeleteSomeone will come along soon I'm sure! A delight.

Yes, it is so sad to see that dollhouse. At least there is hope.

Well loved things can take on a life of their own, and sometimes that includes taking on a ghost as well.
