The Hole-y Blanket
I have this hole-y blanket that brings security
It was a gift from my grandmother many moons ago
The holes are what happens when something is overused
I have put miles on this blanket
It brings me comfort
And reminds me of someone who...
Is a strong female figure
Someone with heart
A second mother to me
And someone I truly love
My grandmother also made me a blanket and I love it too
But for some reason this blue and white one will always do
Most of the stuffing is gone
It went like snow on my bedroom floor
But I do not really care
Because it is from someone whom I adore
So let us add more miles
This warm treasure and I
For I am certainly not perfect either
What a pair we make
Hole-y Blanket and I!

For many years those blankets served me well, until the Army blanket was relegated to the backseat of my car in case I ever ran off the road in icy cold condition and needed it. The other blanket I used on my beds until it became threadbare from washing so many times.
I ended up using my grandmother's handmade quilt until I couldn't make my bed anymore and my mother put it away for future family members to admire.

Christ is not just a story,
he is Lord and Savior,
and He is my Holy Blanket - the real deal!
