Patches

Some old--Some new
Some soft--Some rough
The patches of the beautiful creation we made to together
Shake out the dust-- air it out
It’s time to add another patch
Another stitch--another thread
Where’s the needle?
Up and down
Down and up
Another--stitch
Fill in the holes and gaps
Patch up the rips and tears we made
Another stitch--another thread
Remedy the pain left behind
Wrap me in your warmth again
Another stitch--another thread
New fabric to weave stronger
And new stitches and threads to hold fast
Now, my dearest one, will you hand me yonder patch?
