'the Threads of Me''

Tailor made, And to a specific Pattern. He knew exactly what He had in mind with me Even with multicolored fiber Sometimes I look back in amazement Thinking who would have thought, that the grey He started with would Recoil and blossom Years ago the tears I shed; finally I can see the growth ©070820121411

Very touching poem, especially the last line. I try to not post any old poems - they are from a part of me well in the past. But I do sometimes rewrite them in a different form. I never used to use form.
