Life is but a Weaving (the Tapestry Poem)My life is but a weavingBetween my God and me.I cannot choose the colorsHe weaveth steadily.Oft times He weaveth sorrow;And I in foolish prideForget He sees the upperAnd I the underside.Not til the loom is silentAnd the shuttles cease to flyWill God unroll the canvasAnd reveal the reason why.The dark threads are as needfulIn the weavers skillful handAs the threads of gold and silverIn the pattern He has plannedHe knows, He loves, He cares;Nothing this truth can dim.He gives the very best to thoseWho leave the choice to Him.
