Quilting Angel

I saw the quilting angel as she quilted in my dreams. She quilted with the weirdest things Not just with cloth and strings. I saw she added Furniture Like antique beds and swings. Baby cradles ~ rocking chairs and dolls and children's things. She Added in at least two men sewing them each down tight. I noticed all but one had come undone Just before the dawns new light. I had watched her quilt ~for hours now As I slept the night away. I decided to ask to see her quilt before My dreams passed into Day! Come and Look she sang to me Before any words I said. I am quilting up your life from birth until you're dead. I saw the swings and children's things and knew how they would fit. I saw the balls and bats and dolls and even a catchers mitt. I saw some tears But smiles as well some kids and dogs and a tree. I laughed and glowed as she proudly showed what a mosaic my life would be!
