In a world of plastic dreams, she stands,
A beacon of beauty, in flawless lands.
Barbie, they named her, an icon of grace,
With a smile that lights up, every space.

Her hair, like spun gold, cascades with grace,
A flowing river of dreams, a sunlit chase.
Eyes that sparkle, reflecting hopes untold,
In her magical world, stories unfold.

But beneath the surface, oh, there lies,
A yearning for truth, in her painted skies.
For beyond her plastic, beyond her guise,
Lies a heart that longs, and a soul that sighs.

She dreams of adventures, beyond pink walls,
Where courage stands tall, and true love calls.
To break free from molds, to redefine,
A destiny greater, a purpose divine.

For Barbie, you see, is more than a doll,
She’s a symbol of strength, for one and all.
Her journey’s a mirror, of struggles we face,
A reminder to rise, with elegance and grace.

She teaches us lessons, both big and small,
To stand against barriers, to conquer all.
In her world of make-believe, we find,
A reflection of humanity’s heart and mind.

So here’s to Barbie, a friend and a guide,
In her colors and dreams, we take pride.
An emotional echo of stories we share,
In her enchanting world, we find solace and care.
