Tapestry
~ Tapestry ~

On the day you were born,

You were given a cloth...

white, empty, waiting

with blinding expectation

for the colors and designs of your life to fill it.

Glossy threads of rainbow hues

awarded for every experience

weave into your tapestry

throughout the years of your life.

What brillance will your filaments possess?

To stop and observe the movements of clouds

when your desk is piled high with tasks;

To listen to the wind's message

when the dust lies thick on the table;

To ease tension with laughter,

To feel the warmth of the sun,

To revel in bubbles, children, and trees

and chocolate, and God, and music...

adds the tint of joy to your fabric

and makes it a symphony of radiance.

Others may lend a unique shade

and sweet curve of fiber

to your work-in-progress,

But you alone are the weaver...

Making your tapestry a MASTERPIECE!
