I Had a Sweater

I had a sweater
By Richard Rix

I had a sweater
Made from all the colors I know
From family red to traveling green 
And a future yellow that would glow

I had a sweater
Made from memories and dreams 
Of friends and far off places
Strange symbols covered the seams 

I had a sweater
Knitted, stitched, and sown
With images and pictures 
Of a world I once had known

I had a sweater 
That one day got a hole 
It became bigger and bigger
Until it consumed my soul 

I had a sweater 
That nobody could fix
No doctors or nurses
No masks or swabbing sticks

Now it is gone
My sweater has fallen apart
I am trying to put it together
But I don’t know where to start
