Quilting a Life Together

Quilting a life together

piece by piece

day by day

80 years in the making

Life is like a quilt,

put together over many years,

piece-by-piece,

day-by-day,

stitch-by-stitch,

year-by-year.

Many different colors,

different shapes, and designs.

Different seasons,

different loves,

many smiles, many tears,

many joys, even fears.

As time goes by

it may get a little worn,

a few rips and tears,

a wrinkle here,

or a wrinkle there.

But there's nothing like

having it's memories

wrapped around your shoulders,

keeping you comfortable,

keeping you safe,

keeping you warm.

Written in love
