My grandmother made me a quilt before I was born.<\/p>\n
Blues and greens greeted me into this world,<\/p>\n
Helped me learned how to crawl, my first word, how to walk.<\/p>\n
A labor of love, created for the idea<\/em> of a human,<\/p>\n I wasn’t real and tangible when she started sewing, but still, she sewed.<\/p>\n At the moment I don’t think she knew how much that quilt would mean to me.<\/p>\n Hold it to my cheek and the worries leave my body,<\/p>\n The cool fabric lowers my body temperature and suddenly I’m a baby again,<\/p>\n Filled with so much love, untouched by the sullied hands of this world.<\/p>\n An ocean of protection, keeping me safe at night.<\/p>\n I love that quilt, and it loves me too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My grandmother made me a quilt before I was born.
