Yarn

As I look at all this yarn,
There's a warm feeling in my heart.
There are so many things I can make!
My fingers are itching to create
Hats for soldiers, afghans for the elderly,
Sweaters for children overseas.
A sweater, a shawl, a scarf, a hat,
Making something special is where I'm at.
An afghan to keep someone warm,
Booties for the baby being born.
Textures and colors to mix and match.
Knit or crochet, which fever will I catch?
Every time I go to the store,
When I see yarn, I want more!
All crafters have their stash.
When something's needed, "I can help with that."
Laugh at me, I don't care.
As long as I have yarn, I can share
A piece of me, a little bit of my heart.
Look at all this yarn! Where should I start?
