Grandma’s Quilts

by Mark Gregory

Grandma’s quilts were always there,
A comforting, colourful sight,
A source of warmth and motherly love,
On cold and lonely nights.

Each one was pieced with tender care,
With threads of love and light,
A labour of love taking time and skill,
For each quilt that lay in sight.

Grandma’s quilts held memories,
Of bygone days and years,
Of loved ones gathered round the hearth,
And tales of joy and cheer.

They kept us warm on winter nights,
A sense of peace and calm,
They were more than just plain fabric;
They were creations of her palm.

Now Grandma’s gone to heaven,
But her quilts will long remain,
Their beauty and their warmth live on,
A comforting, loving refrain.
