Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

The Unfinished Work

"Distress'ed mind, forbear"
Tapestry unfinished
Piece contradistinguished

Color varieties
Leaves one's thoughts astonished
Like dance well choreographed

God in his wisdom knew
What this feeble heart anguished
Each day like unfinished

Embroidery__beauty 
Still yet unaccomplished
Like a heart that's unchurched

Just waiting the spirit
On them be bequeathed
When  enters astonished

Will they be___unfinished
Like  quilt put together
Waiting to be finished

Yes__God will have to work
His magical design
That in his plan aligned


(After reading Edna St. Vincent Millay from "Huntsman What Quary?(1939) Poem # 3. used her first line __direct quote "Distress'ed mind, forbear".)
