White and Blue Cotton Four Corner Embroidery Bonnet

The Secret of the Blessing Bonnet

I have a little secret I would like to share with you.
It's about the milestones in your life I have witnessed as you grew.

At the time that you were born,
your fragile head I did adorn.
Once more upon your christening day,
then folded neatly and tucked away.

Tied so sweetly underneath your chin,
A stitch or two removed, and ribbons made smooth,
to be used later in life again.

And on the day you donned a gown of white,
a veil brushed across your cheek,
I dried your tears of happiness while the words "I Do" you did speak.

It is tradition a bride must have something old to carry,
perhaps her future husbands bonnet she will hold tightly as they marry.

So adore me now and treasure me later,
I am a keepsake to cherish forever.
