A poem written by Suzanne Gonzalez for Project Linus (1999)

My heart was thinking of you,
My hands knew what to do.

This blanket grew out of the love
I want to share with you.

I hope it will keep you warm,
and befriend you late at night.

I hope you'll come to love it
and be comforted by its sight.

Let this blanket wrap you in friendship,
and cover you in love.

Because this blanket was thinking of you,
long before it was even done.
