Emma's Quilt
In addition to fabric, Emma has quilted her life, overtime,
She has taken life's fabric and laid out a beautiful design.
Emma has organized the swatches and stitched them together,
She has created a life that brings other's great pleasure.
Emma has chosen the fabric, texture, and color with care,
The most important she's chosen, is Ted, for 54 years, he's always been there.
Ted has been the quilt frame that holds up fabric by the yard,
With his support, Emma's quilt has been enhanced and enlarged.
In addition to being the quilt frame Ted has added much to the design,
He has given Emma and his family, his love, his strength, and his time.
Like the fabric of a Quilt Challenge, from which something beautiful is made,
God gave her three daughters to teach and to aid,
Each girl has thrived in their own special way,
Emma's influence on them, continues today.
Some of the best embellishments of the last 20 some years,
Has been her nine grand children who bring her such cheer.
To that, three great grandchildren add to the fun,
She loves and enjoys them, each and every one.
In addition to the fabric of family, Emma has added guilds, church, service and friends,
To these her commitment, has known no end.
Emma has sewn in a smile, or a joke here and there, shared a laugh and some fun,
This is the yellow, of which, each quilt, should have some.
She's quilted for fun and she's quilted her life,
She's stitched things together to be a good Oma, mother and wife.
We each are so glad that she has stitched on our souls,
Through us her quilting will live on, wherever we go.
With love,
Max (son-in-law)
