Special Friendship

I can’t remember when I first lay my eyes on her,
I can’t remember when I held her for the first time,
But I know I loved her the minute I saw her.

My Mum’s treasured friend, Kelly
Gave me a Kelly of my own to treasure.
And since then she has stuck with me,
Like a true friend through hard times,
And in the bright fun moments.

She is a Loyal, beautiful friend
always waiting for me
at home,
Silently sharing secrets
I am concealed in her soft lavender purple and candy floss pink pyjamas.

I am growing up,
too old for dolls
But when I look into Kelly’s black stitched eyes
memories of family and friends,
my loving Gran and everything that means so much to me,
come flooding out because I am concealed
in her soft lavender purple and candy floss pink pyjamas.
