Izzy Doll<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

by Carol Isfeld, July 1999<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I travel to you in pockets!
I’m just a little soft thing;
Made with love and care.
My home will be a boy or girl
The place is – Everywhere!
I bring a smile and comfort, 
When cuddled by a child.
My payment is the feeling
When the giver gets a smile.
That smile is there for all to see,
The feeling lives inside;
A memory of where I came from
Is shared to you with pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To make a memory, you have to be there.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
