Origami

She would fold, refold then fold again 
And from the paper arose a swan 
I was always amazed at what she did 
A creation of beauty from paper 

She would fold, refold then fold again 
And from her heart arose a song 
A creation of beauty from hope and faith 
And like the swan she helped me fly

A pretty piece, drawing parallels between two type of creation linked by similar emotional resonses, seems somehow incomplete.
