Life's Tapestry
Today is woven with yesterday's thread
spun by restless fingers on life's worn loom
this tapestry will lay on your deathbed
woven from the knowledge learned you'll consume
to be hung framed on your life's traveled hall
of what was to the weaver to remind
tomorrow's thread has not been spun at all
as the new day's threads finally unwind
you'll weave in all the things your life has sought
woven from memories cut and knotted
a lasting reminder of what's been taught
and record the purpose time allotted
to knit this tapestry without design
unravels majesty and leaves but twine
