Gold and Silver Strands My life is like a patterned quilt I've made with loving hands. The islands of events are tied With gold and silver strands. The gold is for the happy times. The silver for the sad And there's an ample share of each. A mix of good and bad. The background has a rosy hue, For optimism felt, Through all the vagaries of life, No matter what was dealt. The batting, is my inner faith, That God will light my way And give me time to stitch and sew, To add more every day!

Oh my Betty Lou ~ What a beautiful weave you have done here, I do believe it is one of the most lovely reminders I've ever read. I'd like to keep it on my fridge so I can read it everyday and be thankful for all of the "Gold and Silver Strands" ... May I? Bonnie |

Betty, this is a wonderful piece! Its flow is impeccable with not a forced rhyme in the lot of it. It's beautiful, too! A heartbeat of rhythm in tune with the Spirit. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
