Baby Blanket

Blue, purple, brown and blue-

Long enough for my arms,

And soft as a flannel ought to be.

I left you in the park,

In my swim bag,

Upon our sledding hill.

I was distracted by our jump,

The broken fallen branch,

And the perfect first kiss.

You were my favorite thing to wear-

So I was sad, when I searched,

To find you stolen.

But who can blame the thief?

It was time for you to go.

So I shed my skin,

Farewell to my baby blanket.
