Silk
He'll eat white mulberry leaves
it's softness...dose not compare
he spins the luster silken threads
to whom ?...today, will wear
She wears her dress of finest silk
a special day, some say
her swept up hair, red sandals too
how graceful... she looks today.
It's way of life ,traditional Art
tea ceremony, she'll take a part
her beauty, love and harmony
all perfect... just like a symphony
It's a come of age, a ceremony staged
her kimono painted...in pastels shades
for weddings, funerals, graduation too
its her first kimono...all brand new
also boys and girls ,will take a part
from seven ,five and three
their kimono red, of finest thread
by silkworms, master weaver said
lets leave this scene, of finest silk
of beauty, love,...serene
we will visit them another day
its gracefulness ...now seen
