Love Is Wool

Dedicated to my Moma

Mom’s loving hands knitted me Barbie’ clothes,
my son’s small sweater I display in pose,
and our blanket of unique square patterns.
Our cute child animal mittens were cool.
Wool surrounds me, comforts me, love is wool.

Sandra Haight Date: 1/17/2016 6:42:00 PM I really like this, CayCay! In your last line, 'wool' could substitute for 'mom', so your allegory is complete! All the best for the contest. Hugs, Sandra Login to Reply CayCay Jennings Date: 1/17/2016 7:12:00 PM I sure appreciate your knowledgeable 'eye'! Yes, Mom and wool are interchangeable and I thank you so much for commenting ...

Beautiful Scars Date: 1/17/2016 5:49:00 PM Oh CayCay, this is amazing! No joke this will do very well in the contest. You took the theme of "wool" to a whole new great level..Good luck girly :)*smiles* *hugs* Login to Reply CayCay Jennings Date: 1/17/2016 7:11:00 PM I looked for 'wool' on your page, but didn't see it. I'll delve further. Thank you for your uplifting comments, Laura ... CayCay

Jan Allison Date: 1/17/2016 5:04:00 PM I love your take on the wool theme CayCay - our friend unpicked one of dad's old jumpers and made mum a blanket - that sure comforts her:-) good luck in the contest Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/18/2016 4:15:00 PM A jumper is a sweater/ pullover - not sure what you call them:-) hugs jan xx CayCay Jennings Date: 1/17/2016 6:35:00 PM Is jumper a sweater? I'm not familiar with that. I can certainly understand wrapping up in the feel, smell and familiarity of your husband's clothes. Makes all the sense in the world. You are so right about holding on to things just because someone we love made them. GUILTY! CayCay Jan Allison Date: 1/17/2016 5:51:00 PM It is so hard to get rid of thse things they hold such wonderful memories:-) Mum wanted to keep one of dad's old jumpers but they were so huge and baggy and the blanket is a lovely memory for her and she is close to him all the time:-) hugs jan xx CayCay Jennings Date: 1/17/2016 5:48:00 PM Oh, Jan - you should have seen the precious Barbie clothes! And my son's toddler sweater - white with red fire truck, black ladder, and his name in black above - all on the back, it was button-down style and lined. It hangs in my dining room, can't bare just storing it somewhere. Thank you for commenting, love your visits ... CayCay
