My Blankie

It tags along with me wherever I go There isn't any journey my blankie isn't in tow Like a super hero cape I wear it wrapped around my shoulders As I explore my top secret mission waiting around the boulders On long rides in the car it keeps me warm I use it to take down bad guys that swarm I use it to make my own secret lair I set a sign outside of it saying enter if you dare I sometimes use my special blankie to dry my crocodile tears I took it with me my first day of school and like a superhero I faced some pretty big fears My blankie is super soft and cozy It makes a soft landing when I'm playing ring around the rosie It gets drug through the dirt mud rain and snow Indestructible like a superhero, wouldn't you know Sometimes I'll use it to play peak a boo with my baby brother While I'm really a super hero working under cover I like to lay on it and day dream about the shapes of the clouds in the sky To far away lands on my blankie being my magic carpet that I'd fly I use it to sail the seas and take down pirates to find the burried treasure No other blanky can ever compare or measure I snuggle my blankie when I take a cat nap I wear it as a royal cape with a royal crown, not cap Some who watch Snoopy say I'm a cute little Linus I Iike to think of myself as more like lockness Grandma's added extra superhero patches whenever it's torn It's extra special because she made it for me before I was born At Nana's I take it with me for a special sleep over It brings me luck like a four leaf clover When I get hurt and my parents are out of sight One hug from my blankie and my worlds been set right At the Drs office I hold it extra tight Mommy and Daddy tuck me in with it each night My blankie loves me and I sure love my special blankie Grandma says when I get bigger she's going to turn my blankie into a bunch of special hankies

This is adorable. I had a teddy bear, not a blankie. Funny ending, that it will be made into hankies. I really liked the part about drying your crocodile tears with it!
