The fabric of memories
quilts my sadness
in a patchwork coverlet
shared with you.
Faded by time,
your face is etched
on my mind and
sewn in my heart
by motherhood’s threads.
This fine woven collage
would have been trimmed
with vibrant words
and lined with laughter,
given with love
for your children’s children.
Now all that remains,
is a precious fragment,
buried for ever,
wrapped in my love;
a silent heirloom.

I really enjoyed reading this Ann, I guess it's for tomorrows challenge. Nice one. Patchwork, quilting, weaving, all words I adore in poems, as they allow one to encompass so much, Zy |

hi Ann
Found it interesting to read the replies to your poem on the various forums. The strength in the poem for me is the personal voice that engages, touches the reader, draws them into an empathy.
