I Can Do This

I attempted to put the pieces back together I had been a glorious quilt, all dainty stitches and optimism Until he did damage with his seam ripper I can do this I resolved. Revitalize yourself, I chastised me. Me, who was not the guilty party here. Come on! I coaxed my tattered fabric. We can do this! It will not be easy, but it is imperative. My cloth was damaged, but all we need is some starch and a good washing. My fabrics did not believe me at first, Preferring to take the easy way and head for the rag barrel. Eventually my persuasion revitalized them and we became a new quilt. A better quilt, a hardier quilt, a more knowing, empathetic quilt.
