My Scarf

I can feel the warmth against my neck
I wear it everywhere I go
A gift from my grandmother when I was 8 years old,
Knitted and crafted with love and pride.
The colours of the Balmain’s Tigers
When the breeze hits me
it will always keep me warm.

I’ve only met her once,
She lives in a distant place,
The other side of the world.
My scarf is a reminder of her.
As I wrap it around my neck,
As I hear her say “I’ll be with you always”.
