I was a lovely blue blanket
Can I be your lovely blue blanket
I give everyone warmth
I expand from your head to toes and gently cuddle you
But I got tossed and dragged and folded and smushed and spread and used till my seams break and my string unravel
and the little child that used to love me is grown and I am tossed once again
I want you to love someone as much as the little boy loved me when he had an earache
Or the way the little girl hugged me when her father was too tired to chop the fire wood
I was there to give them love when others weren't.
And I'll do the same for you
Because I was their lovely blue blanket.
And I can be yours too.
