Blanket

The touch is forgiving.
As soft as vanilla cake,
Warm on my nanna’s favourite plate.

I will be here.
Forever
Until you discard me.

I can shelter you from the sprinkles
out the kitchen cupboard.

I am like a bonfire on a winters’ night
Waiting for the coal to burn out.

Take me on your journey
Where ever you may go,
I will follow.

The passionate kiss of lollipops,
Sweet stickiness has stuck over time.

Don’t forget me.
As I will never forget you.

You inspire my dreams.
But most of all hold memories.
Filled with love of the past.
