I’m knitting a scarf for my grandson
and thinking of him as I do
the joys and the giggles he gives me
The fun of just watching him growThere’s yellow for sunshine and laughter
and green for all nature’s excess
red for power, blue for calm, mauve for dreaming
and orange for heart’s happinessEvery new stitch forms a kiss
and every new row a new prayer
I’m knitting my grandson a rainbow
all knotted in loving and care.
