Cuddle Blankets Made With Love
I make cuddle blankets for children in need,
they are sewn with bright flannel material,
hoping each child will hug it with joy,
feeling secure in a world that is upset down,
saying a prayer for each little one wearing a frown.
I make cuddle blankets for children in need,
dropped off at shelters who protect abused women
who escape with their families out of dire fear,
sometimes with clothes on their backs and no more,
prints vary from dinos to cars to satisfy the score.
I make cuddle blankets for children in need,
a project which makes my sewing machine hum,
each stitch is a labor of love as they are created,
turned to the right side and edges ironed flat,
attaching embroidery stitches as a final pat.
I make cuddle blankets for children in need,
this is something that comes from my heart,
it provides hours of pleasure for a retiree
who wants to give back to those in need,
a dream which has turned into a good deed.
