Owl

Soft turquoise felt,
Embellished with vibrant shapes,
And ebony button eyes,
Sewn together by my loving mother.
With devotion, care and love,
Each stitch precise.
Overcast stitch, running-stitch, cross-stitch.
A gift of tender love,
Tied to memories,
My beloved mother,
Cosy snuggles lulling me to sleep.
Painful scrapes and cuts,
Soothed by owl cuddles,
Joyful news,
Happily shared with my owl.
A caring friend,
Giving warm company,
When I’m alone.
Precious like diamonds and gold.
My cherished owl,
Cutie.
