My Babushka Doll

On a white cabinet shelf lies my special babushka doll starring at the world she sits and sings
Wondering what it would be like to take a small peak outside
Red Rosie cheeks, red lips, and a beautiful flowery dress she wears
Her golden hair looks like strands of silky thread
Creak, crack, clap, those are the best words to describe the babushka
2 years old
Grandma passed it down
You’re not irreplaceable
When I’m down you help me back up, my special babushka doll
Sad does not describe the feelings I would feel if you were lost
Inside my heart you will stay
My special babushka doll
