Crochet Bag

She made it from a piece of the material
off a spread she had just finished.
Here, this bag will last you for ever.
Keep your wool and needles in it.

Cut from cloth that kept me warm.
Made with hands of a loving mum.
Placed into my hands,
Passed straight to my heart.
My crochet bag.
Thanks Mum.
