Anna's secret

Burried in the back yard
under an old oak tree lie
a terrible secret..Anna's
secret..
Molly turned up missing
when Anna was just twelve
years old and after more
than two months of searching
everyone gave up hope of ever
finding Molly
Everyone suspected that Anna
might know more than she was
letting on but Anna seemed
to clever to reveal any hard
evidence concerning Molly
Anna would often praise her
mother for the creative way
she used to stitch Molly's
dresses and how Molly would
just sit there in her little
childs chair with her little
legs just barely flopped over
the chair
People thought Anna was really
jealous of Molly but Anna would
just laugh those statements
off claiming that she was really
prettier than Molly and had no
reason to be jealous of her
Well, Anna thirty two now and rarely
did the subject of Molly come up
..until there came a knock
on the door this cool September morn
Bob, the next door neighbor was pulling
up an old tree stump next to the huge
oak tree that kept Anna's secret for
so long..
With a strange smile on his face and
holding a rusted tin lunch box he
simply said..'I found Molly!'
Anna's was filled with embarrassment
and said,'I guess the secret is finally
out..'
Bob opened the small lunch box and
pulled out the little red head rag
doll..Molly~
