Tiny Human, your blanket is quite special, it is one of a kind.
Not in another's house or in a store will you find.
The humble blanket was made just for you.
Each patch has a meaning, let me explain these through.
My hand holds the first thread in the first corner.
It will always be there to hold you, even when you are older.
There's a big sun to brighten your everyday.
And gray to remind you each day is different in every way.
On the top right are tiny footprints in blue.
Because in your life will take you in directions, old and new.
Oh, look do you see the little dummy?
That was decoration at a party when you were still in my tummy.
Leah is your biggest sister, she likes to squish you.
She is sensible and calm and has a unique point of view.
Next you see a love heart, because... well love.
If nothing else love is in this stitching, behind and above.
Balloons are a childhood favourite creating smiling.
But they also represent you always striving and flying.
The little dinosaur is cute and a friendly looking dude.
When I found out you were a boy apparently I was in a dinosaur mood.
Tara is your next sister full of crazy and energy.
She wants to take care of you lovingly and expertly.
This next square is my most loved it symbolises us being linked together.
Even when it may seem there is something in the way: time, space or a tiny feather.
The last row is especially fun, see the tree with swing?
This one is to remind us that keeping the inner child alive is an important thing.
That and family is what keeps us going and smiling.
In our lives we need to laugh and dance and play and terribly sing.
Finishing off these special pieces of fabric.
Is your daddy's hand and the last link of string, fantastic.
I hope you cherish this blanket as I will cherish you.
As it serves a constant reminder that your mummy and daddy love you.
