I Once Had A Sweet Little Doll Dears.

(Today I went for a Japanese Kokeshi (wooden doll) exhibition. Love them and wood is my favorite material for dolls. Watch out for it in a future post in Ghost Walk. Meanwhile, today's post is dedicated to the dolls we grew up with.)

I once had a sweet little doll dears,
The prettiest doll in the world...

But I grew up, dears,
And the little doll didn't.

“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size”

- Mark Twain


And more often than not, the child's loss is less deserving.
