Homemade Hero A length of fabric, a skein of yarn, a piece of lace, a zipper, a button, a trace… Two eyes, a nose, a simple happy face… Here goes! A kitten, a kat, a dog a bear? (cat is better-spelled kat in the BBF- big book of fun) Oh, what a surprise inside. Stuff, stuff, stuff… into your belly, a giant velvet heart. (Love) a pair of hidden wings, (Faith) a tiny cross. (Jesus) Grandma prays while she works... “Keep them safe, keep them near, never-never let them fear!””. Angels go with this sewn up soldier, and help him in his need. Protect his charge and care for those…, “He” will bless the deed.
