Hand-Made

A snow day was good motivation
For letting creative juice flow.
I needed a gift
So it gave me a lift
To put something together to sew.

I first thought I’d order from Etsy
But realized that I had the skill
To craft a design
And to make it all mine
Which, I have to admit, was a thrill.

I’m not talented like with my rhyming
Though my project still made me feel proud
Since a present hand-made
In which love is displayed
Will most surely stand out in a crowd.

Bravo! Handmade anything is better than store bought. And if it's food, I'm very appreciative. / Maurice
