Your Gift to Me Come sit by me My friend, my love And let me whisper Of all you’ve done To touch my heart To enrich my soul Layers of joy And sorrow unfold To lay about In a quilt of great treasure The warmth of your love Of your value beyond measure For not only I Am warmed by you But all those about us That know you too And once the seams Have all been sewn The toil of stitching done That beautiful quilt will cover me In a blanket of your sweet memory And such a treasure Shall never wear For in my heart You will forever fare S.A.T. |

Sigh...I am getting so emotional tonight, and this wonderful piece made me well up with the warm fuzzies. Beautifully expressed. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

Muted, I am so glad that I could create something that touched you and I hope that your partner will know that our lives are intertwined with those we share them with and in doing so, part of ourselves are carried on even when we've moved on. I wish I could share with him that we are part of a greater existence and this is merely a learning experience along the way. Love to you --  Susan |

And once the seams Have all been sewn The toil of stitching done That beautiful quilt will cover me In a blanket of your sweet memory ~*~ Oh, yes! |

Thank you all so much for your kind words of encouragement. I was quite moved by Muted's challenge -- that helps. What an inspiring group of people on this forum. A poet's bliss, to be able to read and to be able to share  Susan |

I enjoyed this so much. Your writing reminds me of a friend I used to read often at another site. Her name was Susan too! You have such a wonderful way with words. I am looking forward to reading more from you. It's better than I could have planned.. |

Susan, This was wonderful! Reminded me of a knitted blanket I have in my favorite color that my grandma made for me... (I know your words were about something else, but that is the memory they gave me) "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
