Notes About The Poem
Stitches in time.
Life A Patchwork Quilt Stiches In Time
Live is but a patchwork quilt
Stitched together by Providence
Fate and life's events
It gets larger if you're lucky
Collecting new patches to add every day
A mixed bag of varied textures
Both smooth and rough
Different colours tones and shades
You can't know where life will take you next
But if you had the chance
You'd choose yellow
Instead of blue
Patches of love
Patches of distaste
Poverty or wealth
Sickness or health
Hard times good times
Pain and pleasure
Dreams and aspirations
Good times and bad
Happy or sad
Where ever life takes you
You'll not know until tomorrow
You point your arrow and
Hope it reaches your target
The quilt fades over time and frays threadbare
you just carry on at a slower pace
And threading the needle gets harder to thread
When your lights go dim
The quilt is a story of a journey
Like a biographical novel
Our history
A life once lived
