Thank you, Blankie on my knee
Nana knitted you for me
With the cosiest of yarn
In between the socks she’d darn
How those needles clacked and clicked
How things came together quick
Out of thin air, just like magic
Sweater, scarf and baby jacket
A special something for me too
My favourite Blankie, pink and blue
I cannot sleep without my friend
If I’ve bad dream, away it sends
And on cold nights it keeps me warm
Through icy winds and winter storms
My Blankie at my heartstrings tug
Reminding me of Nana’s hug
And when I have kids of my own
I know they’ll never feel alone
For my Blankie will provide
The comfort on which I relied
The treasures that we often keep
Lighten burdens buried deep
And when passed down, as families do
Those memories go with them too…
