           My mother weaves with words a million memories.

 

         Early  In her  childhood her years spent on the farm

  taught her the rhime of seasons and she  gathered her first yarn.

   She learned the pride of work  well done  and the joy of  family

    And she learned that things worth having dont  come easily...

 

As she grew into a woman she found her own true love ,

    His thread combined with hers fit just like a glove.

In to the world they barely knew the two would  go alone.

my mother said she had no fear for she had found her home...

Into their home soon children came 2 boys and 2 were girls...

They promised to protect them and they gave them all the world.

In our imperfect childhood our mother helped us see.

Her words were tiny threads of gold she knew the thread we need.

 

    Children bring the sweetest joy and the sweetest pain .

  My mothers threads would strenghten us again and again.

 Each year it seemed she knew  when a color had  to change.

     And she would have our  threads all ready to arrange

   Seasons fly  and we are older and  have children of our own.

 My mothers joyous weaving made each grand-child feel at home.

        My mother discovered colors  that she had never seen.

    as if they came  from heaven they had such amazing sheen.

 

      In everyones lifetime there are many things for which we pray.

    That  children are healthy and that  all our loved ones ones stay

When most mothers would be their weakest her thread was so strong.

   Through  years of caring for her  husband and the death of a son.

                       something beautiful again and again.
