A Patchwork Quilt
He says he’s no poet
but he gives her words of love.
She smiles and packs them safely
in her treasure box.
Now and then
she gently lifts the lid,
runs his words between her fingers
and feels them touch her heart.
And when she’s saved enough
she pieces them together;
weaves fine threads of gold
around each treasured word,
and makes a patchwork quilt
made from his words of love.
