These Pieces Of My Memory Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-PIECES OF MY MEMORY--

I went into my sewing room
A box of scraps to share
And opened it so tenderly
To see just what was there.

I found a piece of cotton
From a bonnet I had made
To protect a tiny baby
And give her head some shade.

And there a piece of gingham
From her sundress at age two
To match her silken tresses
It was a golden hue.

A piece of sleek white satin
From her confirmation dress
And there a fluffy piece of fur
From a Teddy Bears caress.

So many quilts, I've fashioned
From these pieces of memory
That give that gentle comfort
Every time I chance to see.

So snuggle in their comfort
Of these pieces of your life
And revel in good feelings
That can lessen all of strife.

And in your heart and mind
Savor each tiny piece of living
As you use, with loving gentleness,
This Quilt that I'm now giving.
