| Life's Tapestry It's said a splendid tapestry depicts life's 'grand design' Immense in its complexity, the threads all intertwine. To form a pattern illustrating with explicit weave The reason why our children die, and why we're left to grieve. I'v heard it called the "Master Plan", and there are those who say Each thread's the story of a life, from birth to dying day. No death occurs that is not planned, some greater purpose served And some draw comfort from belief that fate can not be swerved. If destiny holds all the cards then nothing could be changed, We could not alter tragedy ~ ~ for death was prearranged. I do not know if I believe that fate decreed the day, My life lost its illusions, disenchantment came to stay. But I DO know the path I'm on is one that's far less clear I stumble through this darkness praying light will reappear. Yet in my soul her light lives on; my love for her remains. With innocence she healed my heart and broke through my life's chains. My daughter showed me how to trust ~~ her needs taught me to fight. She planted seeds of caring about others and their plight. If the tapestry depicts the life of all who walk the earth, The Master Weaver added my child's thread and knew her worth. Her life, her death, my agony are pushing me to find The reason for her years with me, and why I'm left behind. I understand my path will stay in darkness 'til I see The means by which I'll utilize the gifts she gave to me. If I can find a way to share the caring I now feel, It will honor her dear memory, and help my heart to heal. by Sally Migliaccio For Tracey ~~ Always |
