Ode to My Blanket
My blanket is like a
sweater.
My blanket is just like a
pillow to my heart.
My blanket is the tissue
to my cries.
My blanket is there when
I’m cold.
Even when I’m cooking my
blanket is there to hold.
My blanket helps me clean
by me stuff everything
under it.
My blanket is so many
colors, pink, blue, orange. It helps me stay clam
(calm) when I’m mad.
My blanket takes good
health care of me
And it help my take care
of me.
My blanket is so soft like
a puff cloud.
I stay cover in it.
It like my kisses from my
mom. |
