I am just a little hankie, as square as can be;
But with a stitch or two, they've made a bonnet out of me.
I'll be worn home from the hospital,
And on special days,
And then I'll be carefully pressed and neatly packed away.
Then on the Wedding, I have been told,
Every well dressed Bride must have something old.
So what would be more fitting than to find Little Old Me?
A few stitches snipped and a
Wedding Handkerchief I Will Be!
And if per chance, it is a boy, someday he still will wed,
So to his Bride he can present the "Magic Handkerchief" once
worn upon his head.
Love Aunt Andrea * "Nannie"

You know this poem makes me cry. She looks very cute in her bonnet.
I cried at your shower, and Ijust about did again.
I am so glad I did that! What a wonderful tradition. I'm glad you guys came over yesterday...it was fun to hold and spoil her!
