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.
