Fresh out of the womb

In a room full of joy

The doctors clean her off

They wrap her up in a blanket

The little pink blanket

In a little green house

At the end of Woodlands Avenue

She takes her first steps

Holding it in one hand

It will never leave her side

Off to school she goes

First day of middle school

It’s a big day

She has to have it

Its shoved in her bag

She throws her blanket in her basement

Locked away for years

Until one day, she grows older

She finds the little pink blanket

That reminds her of every accomplishment

From graduations from elementary school

To heartbreaks from stupid boys

She always had comfort

From one thing

The little pink blanket
