Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

Covered With Love

Ten thousand stitches maybe more
Two hundred patches to adore 
Reminds me of my life before
before I moved away

All through summer and without leisure
She sat and sewed in constance pleasure 
I watched Her every cut and measure
measured Me while out at play

Then in the fall, when Jack Frost creeped
up to my window, while fast asleep
found me bundled in a heep
of patches with out fray

Now through the years, when it gets cold
I lay in comfort, head to toe 
Thanking God, Mom learned to sow
Right up until this day
