Throw Rug

Written December 10, 2001

Woven delicately,
step oh, so carefully.
Though I am made for thee,
take great pains with me.

Leave me not to welcome at door,
or lay me down on much traveled floor.
Only thy toes tip, love, for
threadbare I'll be, should any more.

Glad am I to bear thy tread,
yet mind thy step's soft on this thread.
And should thou trip, fall 'pon thy head,
may pillowed love with solid wed.
