Futuristic Shirt

One sewed by ambitious hands 
Of a once ten year old
During a homescience class
For her daughter one day
One sewed by ambitious hands

The repetition illustrates the continuity of life. As a grandmother also to sew for grandchild and teach the other generations to do the same. Also the change of emphasis fro one generation to the next but the same phrasiology with different dreams. Kind regards, Ian

Thank you Olive. Maybe the sadness is due to the uncertainty of the future???
