Mine Quilt be Done
God stitches together our life story A patchwork quilt sewn meticulously With all the best and tough times included Not a single thing being excluded. God watches over us and it does seem That He doth perfectly sew a fine seam Our quilt keeps on growing out in the mist So we leave behind His wonderful gift. Every stitch is sewn in with tender care Each patch having unique stories to share Stories that tell all that we're made of Our worries, troubles and mostly our love. Reminders of all the deeds we have done Plenty to recall all happiness spun Then when the quilt has come to completion Hopefully it's a worthy achievement. Each patch is a piece of our history The essence that makes up who's you and me All our ups, our downs, the tears and the frowns The laughter, the smiles, that wrinkle our brows. Thank God for his love and His tender care For the quilt that'll warm someone's heart somewhere.

Dear Belle, such a beautiful and soulful metaphor so elegantly expressed. Your inspiring imagery brought me to the center of your poetic creation and I like how and why I lingered there. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

I read your poem Belle and really enjoyed the imagery. Everyone has their own unique life quilt. I immediately thought of that phrase "Life's Rich Tapestry" that encourages acceptance of those things we don't particularly enjoy in life but that happen. I'd have a couple of those patches woven into mine. :) Cheers - Gary

So would I Gary, “life’s Rich Tapestry” would be a fantastic title for a poem. Thank you so much for reading and for the comments made, I’m truly grateful… Cheers, Belle :)
