Hanging on by a Thread

Buttons and thread
keep closed
the pockets of my mind

Scissors and a straight edge
outline my plans
for the future

A needle and a loop
bind my thoughts
of you

A handy hoop
comprises my composure
when I dream of you

Double stitches
and overlaps
sew the seams of my heart

Bright colorful cloth
is the fabric
of my love

Silken softness
is the way
you feel in my heart

A million thimbles
aren't enough to contain
my daily thoughts of you

A tailored life
we both lead
luckily filled with love
