Notes About The Poem

Charming Patterns

In and out, 
      with ribbons held
         round and round the Maypole-
charming patterns made;
         around, around- 
      in and out-
weaving purpose in their dance.

In and out,
      our days of life-
         round and round- through the years,
building as we go;
         around, around-
      in and out,
weaving patterns of our life.

Over, under,
      and then braid- 
         we weave our days, one by one;
layers make them strong.
         Beauty of those
      patterns made-
deepens as our years go by.

In and out,
      our days of life,
         round and round through the years,
charming patterns made;
         over, under
      in and out-
weaving purpose of our life.
