Grandma's Quilt

by chritty - Aries


Made with love it was given to me
each little block a sight to see
underneath the quilt I feel safe 
pieced together by love
a quilt by an angel from heaven above
memories sewn into the fabric
each little piece told a story
which Im so proud to own
The quilt
that rest on my bed
brings joyous memories in my head
a lady with a beautiful heart made this wonderful sight
that I cant sleep without at night
Every little color
that I see reminds me so much of my grandmother
kissed by an angel she was and how she will be dearly missed
but I will always have this
quilt that she made especially for me
she would say ah mijah this gift is for you
and when Im gone it will remind you of me
just know there are special things that you can not see
in this quilt that I made for thee
every little stitch is the love that you give
every little color is the twinkle in your eyes
and layers are your smile
I told you many stories with each piece
of when I was a little girl in Mexico
I know you will be sad whe I leave
I know it will be hard to let go
but remember in Heaven I will be singing a song
and thinking of you
grandma return to her maker one night
I felt lonely and sad her sweet smell I missed
I grabbed my quilt
and I said grandma why did you have to leave me
I miss you so much, your laugh and your smile
I wrapped the quilt around myself and feel asleep on the couch
that night I dreamed about her she was singing in heaven with the angels
she smiled and said my love for you will remain my dear child
I put all of me in the quilt that you see
I pulled the quilt around me
and I felt her prescense
and I could sense
that my grandmother was near
when I held my quilt and pictured her there

Reason for writing:

    my grandmother made a quilt for me two years before she died I have had it for almost five years now and I cant possible be without it
