The Fabric of Your Life

It's poem time again. I would like to share this one which I have found from one of my books that I sometimes read for relaxation.

The Fabric of Your Life
from Linda Zimmerman


The fabric of your life is what
Makes you what you are
Some people leave a mark
Some leave a scar.
Parents who love you
Day by day and guide
Your steps along the way.
Grandparents who love you for who you are,
Whether they live near or very far.
With brothers and sisters, you share so much.
Love and arguments are part of growing up.
Uncles and aunts, neighbors and friends,
Preachers and teachers, employers, too,
All have a part In making you, "you".
More important than all of these,
Is the one who you can call whenever you please,
Whether standing tall or down on your knees.
Out on your own, away from home,
He's closer than Mom on the phone.
His plans have been in place
Before anyone looked upon your face.
Let God guide you through each day.
He will weave a beautiful tapestry
Out of the fabrics of your life
And that tapestry is You!
