Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Seeing her young face
a little bit dirty
her mother tentative
wanting to say yes
the little stuffed dolly
with the tea set stitched
part of her hands
set just right

The little wicker bench
part of the set
making her dream complete
written across her face

Watching her mother
as I told her it was free
her question, even unspoken
enough to melt your heart
“Can I momma”, she asked shyly
perhaps knowing too many times
when the answer was no

But after the yard sale
the pile of our offering
placed at the end of the driveway
with a big sign that said FREE
