This was written for my grandson, Jerrin when he was
small. I was making him a quilt and was having a
bit of trouble with it so, I did it the best I could and
wrote this poem as a result, unfortunately, I am a
it of a perfectionist.
God bless,
Blankets For Jerrin
Some people might look at these blankets I have made you thinking
your grandma should stick to things for her to write
but after all dear grandson they will still
provide for you a warm and cozy night.
You see they thought not perfect were
made for you with hands of love
hands that wanted to leave for you
a touch from our Father above.
Oh yes I tried to make these blankets perfect
and beautiful to the natural eye
but the more I tried and tried the more
things well to be sure went awry.
So I settled for a life’s lesson
that I won’t soon forget this test
for when we have done the best we can do
we need not to be ashamed for we have done our very best.
