We went shopping, Mommy and me-
To find the perfect doll, it just had to be.
.
It had to have the prettiest outfit-
It had to have legs that bent, so that it could sit.
.
It had to have hair just like us-
Otherwise, we might have to make a fuss.
.
The eye color was important too-
Same old same, the whole way through.
.
For Mommy and me we look a lot alike, in
many ways-
More some so, on certain days.
.
And, to figure out why, we need to look no further-
Than pictures, of much loved Grandmother.
.
A generational thing, that happens to be passed on-
Been going on since the first break of dawn.
