Quilt
By Grace V. Tidrow
Life is like a patchwork quilt
put together by time
part of yours is quilted
also part of mine.
The part we quilt together
will have beauty to behold
Fashioned with our love that's red
bound with a band of gold.
There will be many little patches
some gray and some blue
Bu the thread that binds them together
is the love I have for you.
So as you pledge your love to me
and I pledge mine to you
we'll be safe beneath this quilt of love
All our whole lives through.
Heather
Thank you so much this is it!!!
Patchwork Quilt
Together we make our patchwork quilt of life
Cotton backing is our hearts and souls
Thread we use to sew is the strength of our bond
Pieces of clothe special memories to remain in our sight
Each cloth has color with a meaning
White reminding us of our Earth’s beginning
Brown is for the love of rich soil we work
Blue for all known oceans, seas, rivers, and streams
Gray the sky where we watch God’s creatures fly
Green for the respect of nature’s landscape scenes
Orange as we love that “Old Man” and his moon
Purple for tears we shed and pain
Red for all the love we have made
Rainbow colors for diversity of our families
Yellow for the sunrises we have seen
Our quilt continues to grow only missing one color
Once our time here is finished this color they will sew
Black being the finishing piece of our patchwork quilt
