A Blankie For Me

He said Please, I need my blankie,
As he looked into my face,
His little eyes were filled with tears,
my heart was in a race.
I’ll help you search, I said so quick,
I panicked and my heart felt sick,
Where could they be not too far away,
He needs his blankie near him everyday.

He reached out his arms for a hug,
And with my heart he began to tug,
He whispered softly, “I Love You Nan,”
I returned these words to this young man.
I said here’s your blankie, and with a smile,
He stole my heart, this precious child.
He walks away , he’s in his comfort zone,
He snuggles his blankie,  he’s no longer alone.

I’ll keep this picture , long in my mind,
Of an innocent child, so lost in time,
Just a blankie to snuggle close,
The comfort zone he needs the most.
I hope these days he’ll not erase,
Of all the loved shared within these days.
An innocent child, a gentle young man,
Who’s stolen the heart, of this dear Nan.
