And the poem:
He hates the fact you’ve gone away,
But in his Heart, I know you’ll stay.
You taught him right from wrong.
And with this knowledge, he will go on.
With hurt and pain in his heart,
I do know that, you’ll never part.
You made him laugh, you made him cry.
With those moments, he makes it by and by.
I know you’re in heaven watching down on him,
Just thinking that makes him grin.
But losing you is a great big deal.
I do hope one day, he will heal.
The suffering has ended, and you’ve gone home.
To sit with Mom and our Father, on his throne.
You made him laugh, you made him cry,
With those moments, he makes it by and by….
I hope each square, he does see
And remembers they were thee’s.
Memories found in these old plaids,
Help him please, when he is sad.
I know you’re in heaven looking down with a grin
Using this quilt, you’re hugging him.
You made him laugh, you made him cry,
With those moments, he makes it by and by…
Each stitched I stitched, I stitched with love
Took great care with gentle gloves
Wishing he finds comfort in this quilt
With my two hands I had built,
Make him laugh, make him cry
With these moments, he will make it by and by…
