The Old Burlap Bunny
There once was a burlap bunny,
Who lived in my attic upstairs.
He sat all alone,
In his dark, quiet home
Wondering sadly if anyone still cares.
He's nestled away in the corner,
With a cobweb covering his head.
He sits on a box,
Filled up with old socks,
Reflecting on the life that he's led.
Then one day things changed for the bunny.
Raggedy Ann and Andy came to the attic to stay.
He smiled a big smile,
Getting eager all the while,
For now he had others who'd play.
"How are you?", he asked to the red headed dolls,
"I'm so glad that you both moved in!"
Their childhood friends,
A need for toys that did end,
She now had a new life to begin.
They shared their dear home for ages.
Each wondering why they were there.
Then one day things changed,
Their lives were rearranged,
A woman entered in from the stairs.
They really didn't know this woman.
They had never seen her before.
But much to their surprise,
There were tears in her eyes,
And a small child with her to explore.
And the child ran and grabbed the old bunny.
And she grabbed Raggedy Ann and Andy, too.
She played and she played,
In the attic where she stayed.
She didn't care if they were old or brand new.
"These were my toys, my dear child.
I kept them here just for you!
They so warmed my heart,
That I just could not part,
So I saved them. What else could I do?"
"I knew she looked familiar!"
The burlap bunny squealed to the other toys.
A life that was sad,
Is now happy and glad,
Filled with many more years of new joys!
