Grandma's Threads

Thread becomes cloth;
Cloth is cut into pieces.
Pieces of the puzzle form a picture, 
Remembering the past-
Tied to the present by a thread.

Grandma's dresses are cut into squares, 
Sewn together, making a quilt,
Tied together by a thread.
 
I lie in bed, and look at the patches.
Each patch reflecting places in the heart,
Tied to cherished memories-
Tied together by a thread.
