Patches of Glory

Each patch tells a different story
Made by a lady’s touch of love
Touch of passion
Each has its own bit of glory

Many generations of hands
Have sewn this woven
Masterpiece
And entrusted it to me they have

Never gives away
The forbidden, late night
Torch reading
Before the start of each new day

Always swallowing me up
Comforts me at the worst
Of times
My special charm of luck
