Every Quilt Tells A Story

quilt on my bed

Every quilt tells a story
A wedding gift for two
Borrowed or new, old or blue.

Every quilt tells a story
To welcome a new little one
And protect a life just begun.

Every quilt tells a story
To comfort and heal
When sickness and pain are all that you feel.

Every quilt tells a story
When you’re far from home
And feeling so lost and all alone.

Every quilt tells a story
To embrace a friend who shares
One who loves and really cares.

Every quilt tells a story
When pain is so deep and loss so great
And heartache and tears never abate.

Every quilt tells a story with shadows and light
And if it’s not perfect, it must be just right
From Once Upon a Time to Happily Ever After
Bringing joy, and hope, and warmth, and laughter.
