Handkerchief Baby Bonnet Poems

#1 • Keepsake Handkerchief Baby Bonnet

• This charming little keepsake holds a magic all its own,
  As now it is a bonnet for your baby's first trip home.
  Or use it for the Christening, an occasion very dear,
  When friends and family join together and loved ones gather near.
  Then keep it as a treasure, for here's the magic key,
  By snipping a few stitches, a hanky it will be.
• A hanky to be carried many years from now,
  As the bride walks down the aisle to pledge her wedding vows.
  Whether carried by your daughter or your son's new bride-to-be,
  It will mean much more as “something old” because it's charmed with memories.

#2 • Hankie Bonnet Poem

• 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 day, I've been told,
  Every well dressed Bride must have something old.
  So what would be more fitting than to find Little Ole Me?
  A few stitches snipped and a wedding handkerchief I will be!
• And if per chance, it is a boy, someday he'll wed,
  And to his Bride he'll present the handkerchief once worn upon his head

• This little gift is meant to bring joy
  Whether the child be girl or boy
  The little hat is just the size for a baby newborn
  So, home from the hospital the hat will be worn.

  The future of the hat will be known,
  It's a hankie made from fabric so fine
  And meant for the wedding at some future time.
• For the girl, it will serve for “something old”.
  For the boy, it's for his lovely bride to hold.
  I hope this gift brings delight and cheer
  Because, after all, it's for the baby dear!
