The Warp and the Weft

The Warp and The Weft The warp and the weft are different but both thread Choose any colour you like, through the blues to the red The warp goes away from you stretching out tight The weft goes across, from the left to the right, The shuttle bobs from left to right and back Weaving some cloth on this intricate rack. Entwining the threads with colours of desire From plain coloured cloth to colours like fire The shuttle passing through leaving a thread called the weft Intertwining warps, moving to the right and the left We can learn to be like this wonderful machine Learn from it’s weaving for life we can glean. If one goes one way, it is not the end We can try go the other without having to bend We can cross over each other but still hold on tight Like wonderful cloth woven for our delight . Two different ways and colours there may be But woven to make stronger for all to see We can be useful and strong and woven together But beautiful and practical seemingly lasting forever.
