Explanation:

Quilts is a poem that speaks of the old person who reflects on the younger days while losing some of the possibilities and functions. They can’t complete everything they could, and while they are satisfied with their life now, they are getting lonely.

The author writes the song as a plea for understanding and connection. It emphasizes the need for socialization, love, and closeness of some other person – to keep the child warm, or for another old person to talk to. That is why they wish someone will hear the whispers, so they can connect and have a close relationship once again, not to be lonely.
