Baby bonnet poem

Include this baby bonnet poem if a baby's bonnet can be remade into a wedding handkerchief. Commemorate this new keepsake with these sweet verses!

I'm just a little hankie,
As square as square can be.
But with a small stitch or two,
A bonnet I will be.

I'll be worn from the hospital,
Or on my christening day.
And after that be folded,
Then carefully put away.

When on that future wedding day,
So we've been always told,
The well dressed bride must always,
Wear something that is old.

So what could be more fitting,
Than to find little me,
And with a few fine stitches snipped,
A wedding hankie I will be.

And if perchance mom has a boy,
Someday he'll surely wed,
Then his bride can have the hankie,
Once worn upon his head!
