The volunteers in the booth said every person who picked up a little quilt and read the poem purchased one. I write to share with you a slightly revised version of your prayer. Obviously, it is still your prayer, but with slight revision to wording and some punctuation I turned it into a poem that flows. God has given me a gift as He has you, and I like to think this coming together of your skill and my own is made in heaven. This is for you from someone who benefitted and saw others benefit from your inspiration. Use it or not; I just wanted to contribute to the excellence of your effort. Thank you so very much.
Poem:
I'm a small prayer quilt
to hold in your hand,
A friend when you're troubled
by events not planned.

Hold me tight in your fist
if it helps calm your fears,
And use me when needed
to wipe away tears.
