MOTHER'S QUILT

MOTHER'S QUILT HAS MANY SQUARES.
SEWN WITH LOVE AND MANY PRAYERS;
COLORS RED AND GREEN AND BLACK...
LINED WITH SOLID RED ON BACK.

BORDERED WITH A FLOWERED PRINT;
MANY HOURS SHE MUST HAVE SPENT.
CUT AND SEWN BY HAND JUST RIGHT;
EVERY SQUARE SHE KNOTTED TIGHT.

AS I SPREAD IT ON MY BED ...
THOUGHTS OF MOTHER FILL MY HEAD.
NOW I KNOW, EACH TINY SQUARE...
REPRESENTS MY MOTHER'S PRAYER.
