Jessica Thompson Poet Rhyme

Blanket Mine

Squish you like a teddy bear, 

Hold you nice and tight 

just to feel your comfort 

in my arms tonight. 

 

Your smell is so familiar, 

I have held you every year 

since I was a child 

I held you close and dear. 

 

To me, you are so personal, 

though tattered and a little old 

I could not bear if you were gone 

You keep me from the cold. 

 

I have confided in you, 

you have wiped away my tears 

and even braced me in the dark 

from all my hidden fears. 

 

It is time I say goodbye, 

Maybe pass you on 

to be my child’s friend 

here so safe at home. 

At least I know you are safe, 

I know you will be well 

blanket you are my dearest friend 

If you could talk, the stories you would tell.
