Quilt Poem

THIS QUILT WITH STITCHES STRONG AND TRUE. 

 HOLDS ALL THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU

 NO ANTIQUE TREASURE OR WORK OF ART

 JUST A SIMPLE GIFT OF A MOTHER HEART

 BRIGHT PATCHES WITH SOME DARK MIXED IN

 THE WAY MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS BEEN

 JOY AND PRIDE AND WORRY TOO

 EVENINGS WAITING UP FOR YOU

 

 AS I PLACED EACH STITCH WITH PATIENT CARE 

I THOUGHT OF YOU AND BREATHED A PRAYER

 THAT GOD WOULD KEEP YOU SAFE TONIGHT 

 AND SHOW ME THE WAY TO GUIDE YOU RIGHT 

 NOW YOU ARE GROWN, MY JOB ALMOST THROUGH 

 AS THE QUILT IS BOUND AND FINISHED TOO.

 IT HOLDS MY LOVE AND FAITH AND CARE 

 TO TRAVEL WITH YOU EVERYWHERE 

 IT MAY NOT BE IMPORTANT NOW 

 BUT KEEP IT SAFE ANYHOW 

 AND WHEN THERES NO ONE ELSE TO CARE 

 YOU’LL FIND MY LOVE STILL WAITING THERE.

 TO HOLD YOU WARMLY FOR AWHILE

 AND SEE YOU THROUGH TIMES OF TRIAL

NO ANTIQUE TREASURE OR WORK OF ART

JUST A SIMPLE GIFT FROM A MOTHERS HEART
