A wonderful occurrence unfolding in my mind Slowly it blossoms from the splinters that I find The tapestry was woven before I was to be Each fragment of the masterpiece goes with what I see If sometimes it seems unreal prick me with the pin That drives through the tapestry until it never ends I might seem small to me but I know I’m not to you You’re my God the Great I Am from the first thread I grew There I am I went by so fast it might ne’er be known How I loved one woman and all my family’s grown Paint a happy smile for me on the lil man’s head Then my story will be told with one single thread [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 12-16-1999).] |

Ah Walt...reading this makes my heart bleed! Argh! How beautifully you spun this wonderful little tale - I loved the whole concept of comparing yourself to a single thread! Fabulous darling, really! So short, but oh so sweet ! Bravo! (standing up and applauding loudly!) "You're my God...from the first thread I grew..." 'Twas my favorite line, BTW! - - - If I can just touch you once, then I feel I have accomplished what I am called to do...- - pFF |

Getting philosophical again walt? Good deal my friend. Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.
