~*~The Comforter~*~
I bought her a comforter
Special with colors to match her room
And thought it just perfect for her
Keeping her snug and warm.
My memory takes me back in time
To the quilts my momma made by hand
As she stitched the pieces of cloth together
In patchwork using every scrap to make a quilt so grand.
I saw her layer the patchwork with cotton between the layers.
I watched her fingers fly sewing every tiny stitch
Making the quilt soft and warm for me.
More than warmth, it was the love stitched there
That warmed my heart as I felt the love she stitched in
The quilt she made to comfort me as I slumbered in bed.
I knew the quilt was made because Momma did care.
Beautiful comforters for sale cannot compare
With the quilts stitched with love
From scraps sewn to make a square
And made into a quilt by a momma's love.
A quilt is a much better comforter
For it warms not just the body but also the heart
Because of the love we feel
When we sleep peacefully warmed by love that is real.
