A PATCHWORK QUILT OF MEMORIES

Fragments of my life,
in strips of you and me,
leaving bare my life,
for all the world to see.

A reminiscent dove,
a symbol of our love,
gold and silver thread,
that joins the coverlet upon our bed.

The sun shining bright,
an incandescent light,
a trip down memory lane,
of our honeymoon in Spain.

Remembering the first night in our bed,
it was exquisite we both said,
we drank some champagne red,
the bubbles went to my head.

A strip of velvet white,
reminds me of a snowy night,
a christmas tree given to me,
lights twinkling for all the world to see.

A sleigh ride across the snow,
as we kiss under the mistletoe,
as we lie down with our cheeks aglow,
we create Christmas Angels in the snow.

A lock of hair woven,
with love intertwined,
a kiss of devotion,
to show you are mine.

And with this Patchwork Quilt,
our memories we've built,
when we get old and grey,
then memories won't fade away.
