The Day Ann Turned Ten
Mom wished she
could afford more than a craft,
A simply made
rag doll with button eyes.
The toy Ann wanted
walked and talked and sang.
This doll may
be a terrible surprise.
The birthday song
hung silent in the air.
The diamond-shaped
small cake cut shortly aft.
But something
entered their small home to play,
A tiny frisky
kitten with blue eyes .
The new rag doll
now open and unmasked,
but Ann was more
enthralled with her new guest.
Ann played with
that sweet kitty and she laughed.
With loud delighted
giggles their house rang.
The kitten came
in like a rescue raft.
Mom though of
that birthday with a heart pang.
