Friendship's Quilt ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 I have spread before me a quilt of many colors, true. Somewhere in the quilt of friendship I've included a square for you. The pieces have come to me over many, many years. Each one very special, some stained in tears. Alone they withstood the test of friendships in time. Now made lovelier by joining with other friendships of mine. As I look upon this quilt I see ... friends young and old and those just coming to be. I hope that all who are joined will, with me, agree ... you are the fabric of love that now covers me. Without each of you my life would not be complete. What you have shared in friendship is safely stored with me. I gaze at the quilt and remember each one of you ... the young, the old and the new. What a wonderful patchwork quilt you have helped me keep. I wrap your friendships around me as I nestle down to sleep. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

A visit to Marge's house is almost like a dream She will show you wondrous things that you have never seen A myriad of colors and inspiration from above A million tiny stitches sewn carefully with love Your eyes cannot consume the beauty inherent in the quilt Your mind cannot imagine the hours of toil til it was done Your heart cannot contain the passion the quilter felt inside To produce a work of art in which such heart-felt love abides Nice work of art, Marge Elizabeth |
