Blue Blanket

written by: Nicole Doyle

Before I even saw you

I bought you a crib

On Britton street

Knitted a blue blanket

To bring you home in

Had your name engraved on my gold bracelet

Aunt Linda gave me

I held you close

So cold

Flames In my eyes couldn’t melt

So small

A rigid doll for a child

Birds won’t sing you awake

Monsters won’t live under your bed

Sun will never burn your toes

Stars will never twinkle in your eyes

Most of all, you will never know what it’s like to be loved

Like I would have loved you

But I will name you

Daniel
