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.

It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...
{Trace Adkins}
