God’s plan, evolving in me
each strand joined
each square hand-stitched
making a tapestry,
a salad, a quilt, a melting,
a blending, a coming
together
in the hands of our Creator
our Savior, the Potter
on the wings of the Spirit
God’s breath living within
me
the light burning brightly
There is Hope in the turning
the grafting of my twig
joined in the vine
leading me to sing
to want to live, to serve
to join with the others
the fabric God is stitching
now, here on earth

that the world creates.”
