Quilt


By Grace V. Tidrow





Life is like a patchwork quilt


put together by time


part of yours is quilted


also part of mine.


The part we quilt together


will have beauty to behold


Fashioned with our love that's red


bound with a band of gold.


There will be many little patches


some gray and some blue


Bu the thread that binds them together


is the love I have for you.


So as you pledge your love to me


and I pledge mine to you


we'll be safe beneath this quilt of love


All our whole lives through.

From the book ';Spouse'; by Shobhaa De, published by Penguin. Maybe get the book from the library to see the rest of the quotation.


Marriage, writes De, ';is like a patchwork quilt. Some patches are prettier than others';.

';Like a patchwork quilt, this new and greater family is a thing of warmth and beauty, the glowing colours and golden threads of its diverse parts carefully stitched into patterns that create harmony and happiness for all who are part of it.'; By Isabel Bradley
