Denise Ann...

Denise Ann... As I crochet I spin love into every stitch  of your baby blanket.   Made of cotton candy thread in pastel colors  of pink and blue, a touch of white here and there, with silvery  moonbeams running throughout, like tiny diamonds sparkling everywhere.   This, to be my gift to you  upon your arrival in June. You turned out  to be softer than any cotton candy ever spun. You are as soft  as the love I feel  as they place you in my arms for the first time. Holding you gently, afraid I'll squeeze you, being so careful not to let you slip from my protective arms.  You look like a tiny Dresden doll with cloud soft skin, rosebud lips, cooing  echo's of angels. You begin to stretch  as if awakening  from a nine month nap. As I whisper  "Thank you, God, for your tiny miracle." you opened your eyes. "I love you", I said losing myself in  their sky-blue mist. 6-11-2000  by Donna Saulsman Friedrichs Written for our first born, Denise Ann, born June 6, 1959 She is now 41 and still precious.
