tailor made life
cut to fit
with each experience
repatterned
for a suitable style

a fashion statement
of worn out dreams
patched up to be
a quilt of warmth
stitched with designs
to comfort me
each square a choice
of precious memory

cold winter nights
huddling this blanket
around me
my life
my own
designed to fit
made by me

I liked this verse especially~

a fashion statement
of worn out dreams
patched up to be
a quilt of warmth
stitched with designs
to comfort me
each square a choice
of precious memory

Sometimes it's all that's left,
and all there is.

"each square a choice
of precious memory"

Oh but if we could all stitch together the experiences and memories of our choices, I think it would make us a lot happier in life.  Enjoyed this poem greatly!

anne,
I like your poetry as much as I like your prose. Excellent.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
