MY NANA BLANKET
My Nana blanket, it keeps the warmth in site
It falls off my bed just about every nite
Nana knitted it for many days
And I've used it in several ways
The odd colors are brown, green and gold
In my possesion it's 8 years old
Though a graduation gift years after it was made
Mom kept it so the memories wouldn't fade
Done with time, patience and care
Unable to say thanks, it isn't fair
Unique to me, but I'm not the only one
Where Nana-blankets have gone from daughter to son
And when Mom said, "she made this one for you"
Cherish my Nana blanket I must do

Yes Cefe I still have my Nana blanket but it's usually on the couch now. But it still falls off to the left and right.
