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

I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket? Fidget blankets are therapeutic small lap quilts to which different kinds of things are sewn or added on. These items offer sensory stimulation that can have a calming effect on patient who struggle with memory loss. The Fidget blankets help them stay busy avoiding boredom.
