Grandma E. Quilts
Your hands all weathered and lined
From tales of the past
With quilted squares and patches
Sewn from the hundred memories
The rainbow of colors
Strips, rectangles, stars and fan designs
Making each piece an orginal
With beauty of its own
From great-grandma African wedding dress
To great-grandpa's field pants
Your Sunday dress and papa's Army pants
Form a warm and loving blanket
Keeping you warm and tightly snug
On the coldest winter night
Seeking peace and comfort
In the quiet of the night
Until the early morning sun
Passing a gift from generations down
Peace and love to you
For starting the history of my family tree
