Poetry By JackiePa
Life's Tapestry
Envision your life as a tapestry
woven with colored threads,
What memories will you depict
of the kind of life you've led?
What colors will you choose
to illustrate your life,
When woven into your soul
are threads of dark and light?
Will you weave threads of black
as a reminder of darker times,
But balance them with gold
to prove the sun still shines?
Will you weave an image
filled with strength and honesty,
using bold, bright colors
rather than weak or cowardly?
Will the background be soft and gentle
like a lovers waiting arms,
Or will it be cruel and harsh --
you hold the color in your palm?
What are the shades of indifference
is that how you live your life,
or is it filled with passion
colored magnificent and bright?
The key to a beautiful tapestry
is a life filled with love;
No matter if dark or light
the strength comes from above.
When you choose from life's basket
filled with millions of colored threads,
It's your choice to weave a tapestry
filled with pride, or one of dread.
