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
