Tapestry

Remember the first time you heard…

Life hangs by a thread

What if I told you life is just a strand

Question this in your head

The old woman knitting all day

Contemplating life in her chair

Whatever she knits is a metaphor

For her life, she knows, she was there

The spider that creates

A beautiful complicated web

It teaches us who it is and was

It is a teacher, listen to what it says

Our lives are a tapestry

Each soul a bit of yarn

We converge and tie knots in each other

But not to cause each other harm

Our colors and patterns

Paint a picture for all to see

When we converge on each other

Look how beautiful we all can be
