    Cleaning out some old papers, found this which I saved long ago
    Still makes me smile.
    Quilts and Friends
    Whenever I wrap myself in a quilt
    I think of a special friend
    One who thought to pick up the scraps of my dreams that had
    crashed in the end...
    A friend who thought nothing of taking the time---
    Though I knew how much time it would take---
    To rummage through haystacks for needles I'd lost
    And thread them again for love's sake.

    Quilts are like friends, for the older they get,
    You realize they're worth more than gold.
    And I'll sell all I have, but I'll keep friends and quilts--
    All I need to keep warm when I'm old.

    What a nice poem -- reminds me of the quilt a group of us made for a lady who was retiring.
