A Patchwork of People

Lying in bed at night
I sometimes feel alone

I close my eyes
And there I see
A patchwork of people
Smiling at me

I have a patchwork of people
To catch me if I fall
And a patchwork of people
Can make a strong wall

People all around me
People young and old
A patchwork of people
Blanket me from cold

So if you ever feel alone
Or too cold in your bed
Simply close your sweet, sad eyes
Patchwork’s waiting in your head

Inspired by all my friends who got together to make my escape to San Francisco last week possible. I am too guilty of not recognizing all the wonderful people in my life who support me, make me belly laugh and tell me to put my big, girl pants on when necessary. You are everywhere - you have all played such a role in my life and my children's' lives - family, friends and people memories all stitched together for me to snuggle into! Thank you, thank you EVERYONE.
