Blankie

You were there for my very first dreams,

calmed by the silk of your binding between my fingertips.

You’re tattered & tearing at the seams,

Yet still the sail of the ship that rocks me to sleep.

You’ve seen me grow and find my place,

we’ve traveled the world together too.

You’re there on my bed in your space,

waiting for me to wrap you together again.

You’ve got holes & tears turning from white to grey,

but you’re still my superhero cape

so that I can save the day.

You’ve soothed me enough to keep the monsters at bay.
