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.

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
