Time to Write a Poem

April 19 This is My Tapestry

This is My Tapestry

It began with the muted yellows of spring sunshine
that beamed through rosy cheeks and earth brown eyes
and sparkled with laughter and curiosity. Over time,
tines of vibrant colors interlaced and popped from the scene
with adventures, loves and learning and sometimes darkened
with somber greys and blacks from challenges and trials
but always interlaced with the white and silver threads
of faith and hope. Lately, a tarnished gold weaves in and out,
strong and resilient and resigned to finish this thing.
