There are many patches that make up my life, a patch for a mother a piece for a wife. There is a strip of color for eyes of emerald green, threads of golden hair stitched into every seam. Little strips of lace for the soft side within, tiny remnants of leather for the daring woman of sin. Ruffles make up borders for my delicate side, a quilt layering for things that I'd much rather hide. A collection of patches putting my life on display, all having been sewn together to make me what I am today. Knots tied securely to show I am strong, some stitches placed lightly to correct when I'm wrong. A combination of patches just little pieces of ME, all woven into the cloth of my life's tapestry. (for you, just cuz you asked...*w*) On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ (I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (02-18-2002 03:26 PM).] |
