   
Just a little rag quilt made with love for you,
Just a little rag quilt that marks the years you grew.
Each stitch was sewn with lots of love,
Each patch was gently placed,
Just a little rag quilt made with love for you.
It’s time for you to leave the nest,
To let your wings unfurl,
To leave the home where love abounds,
and give life a whirl.
Just a little rag quilt to take on your way,
Just a little rag quilt to comfort you each day,
Each time you feel lonely and need a little love,
Feel comfort from the rag quilt which was made for you with love.
It’s time for you to leave the nest,
To let your wings unfurl,
To leave the home where love abounds,
And give life a whirl…
Love always…Mom
This poem was written for my children Tanner and Samantha after I finished the first T-shirt quilt of my life. Samantha’s quilt is not complete as of this writing…she still has to hand over some t-shirts!
