Life's Patchwork

Life's Patchwork

​Scraps and strips of colored cloth
​In every shade and hue
​Display the pieces of my life
Attached for all to view.

​The times that were so sad and dark,
​I thought I couldn't get through
​Are joined right next to brighter days,
​The yellow with the blue.

And one by one, each piece was cut
So carefully and true
​Sewn tight with gentle threads of hope 
​So beautiful to view!

​And piece by piece, together bound
Some chosen and some given.
​God sends the threads of love and hope,
Patchwork designed in Heaven.
