Blanket

Gentle yet protective you cover me as I sleep Watching in silence as I grow, laugh and weep
You've been there since the start
And you're very close to my heart
My blanket

You are white like the clouds that float in the sky
They seem just out of reach with the secrets you hide
When it gets cold you rest under my chin
So I can fall fall asleep and dream with a grin My blanket

I used to carry you everywhere I went
But now it's you that stays at the end of my bed
You're keeping me safe away from the cold
I will treasure you until I'm very old
My blanket
