Dear Blankie
By Mia R
When I was small
I cuddled you at night but
You smelled like old soap
And old ladies at the nursery
You looked like a doll’s dress
From the 1950s, creamy white
Faded and pink ripped lace
You sound of knitting needles clicking together
Annoying!
But you have kept me safe from the monsters under my bed
And my Mum made you with all her love
And now you sit on the top of my wardrobe
But when the day comes
I will give you to my little girl
With all my love,
Mia Rombout your owner and friend
