Today it is bitter cold, my scarf I grabbed to wear
Pretty blue, so warm, and soft, it brings you near
I can see you sitting on the couch, legs crossed, knitting away
One hand working the stitch, what are you making today?
Your stroke is so fast, a pro at best
You were so talented, better than all the rest!
You made everyone a beautiful scarf, I actually got two
We wear them all winter, we are warm because of you
So thoughtful you were, making sure we all received one
You made blankets, scarves, sweaters, you were never done
You would crochet a blanket, your legs it would cover
You would add your finishing touches, and then start another
The warmth received from these gifts, will always be
To keep you close, to never forget, and to cherish eternally
