At the moment you are beside me

As you read I hope you feel the depth of joy I feel every time I am blessed with your shape embroidered to my legs like the most intricate piece of cross-stitch I've ever seen

I am beginning to worry you will be embarrassed to be displayed next to such a ramshackle patchwork quilt

Threads so new and bright

Meticulously placed with attention and care

My stitches old and undoing in several spots

My patches come in many colors
Are randomly placed in a smorgasbord of different patterns

We clash worse than diamonds and driftwood

But I realized being shown next to me only exemplifies your perfection

And something clicks in brain

Maybe THAT is why we're so good together...
