Although I am made of stuffing and straw

And sit motionless in sun and rain;

Although I cannot speak a word and

Will eventually deteriorate; still I live.

Although I have rags for clothes, and

Wear a sewn on smile and nose;

Although I have cornhusks for my limbs

And buttons for my eyes, still I live.

I know you look at me and laughingly say,

"Why, you're just a silly decoration."

But you are wrong, I am so much more

Than just a silly scarecrow;

For I live in memories and imagination.

Although I may sit motionless, still I live.

I bring warm smiles, adding color to life.

I capture little boys' and girls' attention.

I help neighbors strike up conversation.

Although I have a straw heart, still I live.

Straw Heart
