Piece By Piece - a poem

A quilt, for years was sewn
piece by piece
Stitched together with loving hands,
Mended when those pieces
Tried to fray, to scatter
Now finds the seamstress gone
Frays mended no longer,
Stitches unraveled, hems loosened

Batting floating away in tufts
What was cared for over a lifetime 
piece by piece
Falls to rags
