PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My and my blankie have been through a lot,

it goes wherever I go.

Like with me outside to play on the swings,

or even to play in the snow.

~

We go on lots of adventures,

throughout my big backyard.

See wild tigers and flying butterflies,

and search for treasures afar.

~

My mommy wants me to wear a coat,

cause she doesn’t want me to get cold.

But all I need is my blankie like always.

I hope I always have it to hold.

~

The other day I cried when mommy,

said it needed to be washed.

So she put it in the wash machine.

I hope it didn’t get squashed.

~

But the whole reason I cried,

is she said it was covered in dirt.

I just hope when she washed it,

that my blankie didn’t get hurt.

~

One adventure that we took,

is one I’m glad I had my blankie.

It comforted me while I was hurt,

cause I fell and scraped my knee.

~

Mommy says when I grow up,

I’ll have to put my blankie away.

She says I’ll be too old for a blankie,

and I’ll have to grow up someday.

~

That makes me sad to know,

that blankie has to go bye-bye.

I know when that day comes,

that I’m gonna cry and cry.

~

But today I saw a sad kid,

that looked a little younger than me.

She had no place to live,

no place that I could see.

~

The only warmth she got,

was from some old newspaper.

She had no coat or shoes on her feet,

so this is what I gave her.

~

I gave her my old blankie,

cause I think she needs it more.

And mommy says I’ve grown up more,

that the days before.

~

I’m glad she has my blankie,

but I have something to say to you.

If you’re cold while reading this,

I’d give you my blankie too!

~

Well that concludes my story,

of the adventures of blankie and me.

I hope you enjoyed all you read,

and remember help those in need.
