The Shawl

I have just a few close friends and I had one very special friend knit a shawl for me. It's this very pretty shawl with fall colors. I know she spent many hours on it and as much as I hold it dear to my heart, it's the words that she wrote for me when she gave it to me that mean the most.

Wrap this shawl around you
Imagine it's a hug
It's filled with lot of prayers
Sent to God above.

As I knitted each and every row
I said a prayer for you
And as the shawl grew and grew
I added blessings too.

I prayed that God would hold you
In a very special way
As you seek to forget the memories
That plague you everyday.

(I can barely see through the tears as I type this)

May God bless you with His strength
Send to you His peace
As His wisdom and His guidance
You do faithfully seek.

So whenever you feel sad
Or just need a little lift
My love and prayers are in this shawl
And it's for you, a special gift.

I will always keep this shawl and the note that came with it. This friend loved me so much to create this beautiful shawl and add a very special note. I love you Angie!
