Made up of memories of you <br />Bound together with love <br />Sewn with your selfless giving <br />Threads made of grace <br />Lined with thoughts of you. <br /> <br />Squares made of days gone by <br />Days we spent together <br />Each with a new design <br />Of the things that we shared. <br /> <br />Blanket stitches of our hearts <br />Mingle the squares in rows <br />Nothing can tear it apart <br />Not fire or flood or anything close. <br /> <br />It’s kept in a place of my keeping <br />The treasure chest of my heart <br />Wrapped in tissue of forgiveness <br />And tied with ribbons of love. <br /> <br />The colors all speak of you <br />Pinks and Blues and other hues <br />Sewn tight and fastened together <br />With hope and faith and truth...<br /><br />Zenia Sheikh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-patchwork-quilt/
