Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 A thousand years ago, My Grandma made a quilt Of the softest flannel and The purest love... And when the leaves began to fall, And the fog settled in so deep and chilling, Her quilt, and her love, Would envelope me with Warmth, with sweet affection, with peace, As though her soft, loving arms were Always embracing this Tired and sad little girl... Now, your friendship has Made a quilt ~ Of the tenderest emotions and The kinship of truest empathy, And when my bones are frozen with pain, And sleep eludes me in the depth of the night, Your quilt of love Envelopes me with compassion, with hope, As though you are here by my side, Always embracing this Tired and weary woman... How blessed I am! Loved then... Loved now... Cherished then... Cherished now... Never really alone ~ With her quilt, And your quilt, Tenderly embracing this fragile but strong woman. With gentle hugs for all... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
