TATTERED BLANKET

Melinda Ulmer

Musty, tattered throw blanket; You used to bring life and comfort.
Vibrant blue and gold woven patterns of sunshine and moonlight brought warmth wherever
you would lay.
She recycled you to me - A gift I still cherish.
But now I see your worn, faded, frailness and wonder
how much longer I have to hold on to you, since I no longer have her to hold me.
