i made a quilt today

i made a quilt today
i wanted to show you
i know how your eyes always light up
fireflies are no match for their excitement
and flowers are your favorite
guess what? its flowered

i saw a quilt today
remember that potholder that we made
it was only a nine patch
but the colors were brilliant
i think you helped pick them out
i loved them, but i think you loved them first

i noticed a lily today
it was gold like a drop of sunlight
its from your funeral
you would have liked them
they are bright and cheerful like your smile
i'm glad mom let me have them

i sat with a grandma today
it was at work, but i think it still counts
someday her grandchildren will miss her too
i made her smile and chuckle a little
i think you would like that
