My Favorite Sweater

By Bonnie Highsmith Taylor

My Favorite Sweater

My favorite sweater grew too small.

I loved that sweater best of all.

My grandma made it when I was three.

She made that sweater just for me.

I picked the yarn, a special blue.

The color of bluebells, wet with dew.

When I was three I was very small

But now I'm five and much too tall.

I have a new jacket now that's green

So I have my sweater to our cat Queen.

Queen just had kittens out in the shed.

My favorite sweater is now their bed.
