Life A Patchwork Quilt Stiches In Time
Live is but a patchwork quilt
Stitched together by Providence
Fate and life's events
It gets larger if you're lucky
Collecting new patches to add every day
A mixed bag of varied textures
Both smooth and rough
Different colours tones and shades
You can't know where life will take you next
But if you had the chance
You'd choose yellow
Instead of blue
Patches of love
Patches of

A Patchwork Quilt
Is history not the study of war,
treading on nations that flourished before?
It's how civilizations rise and fall,
tyranny is a weapon known to all.
Is it fear that allows us to be led
toward greed and not our conscience instead?
If larceny supersedes our morals,
then wars are how we'll settle our quarrels.
If there's no possibility of peace
then will

A myriad of events beyond our control
Overcome us and we tremble

My Patchwork Quilt
Patchwork quilt, upon my bed.
Made with love, needle and thread.
Bits of fabric from worn out clothes,
cut into squares, to be sewn.
Hand stitched together, day by day.
In the evening, after dishes are put away.
An hour here and an hour there,
slowly transformed, with love and care.
My Great and Grand Mothers and my mom,
worked together, while singing songs.
