A Patchwork Quilt

Everyone's life is a patchwork quilt Made of good times and times of strife What makes it such a colourful quilt Are those special moments in life Moments that change the mosaic forever When forced to choose a new path Uncertainty and apprehension takes hold Each change more scary than the last A myriad of events beyond our control Overcome us and we tremble with fear But as always, our faith guides us on through And we manage to persevere How dull and mundane our lives would be Without these moments of colour They add a new square so unique and diverse It's a work of art like no other Everyone's life is a patchwork quilt Made of good times and times of strife This colourful quilt is a true example Of a unique and treasured life
