Potter's Craft

A piece of clay thrown on the wheel He uses imagination and a certain feel The shape becomes a pot Watching as an exact shape is sought It will become a work of art Seeing it complete tears at my heart His talent is beyond compare This type of work is not found just anywhere When I see it I know it is for me The image though yet unformed I can already see The creation is what I am looking for It is going to be mine for ever more

:) Reminds me of the hymn....Have Thine Own Way, Lord...Thou art the potter...I am the clay. This is lovely, Edith. Thank you for sharing. Hope all is well by His grace. Hugs

My dear Edith...I will write to you more...sometime today. Had some blood tests done....will share with you....later. Must get ready for class. I'm so so happy you will be with Richard and his lovely family. Please pass on my Christmas wishes. As you wrote to me earlier...I feel a strong connection to your family. Blessings and hugs!
