Tapestry

The loom that made our fabric strong,

Entwined our lives as one,

Against the tides of right and wrong,

To weather gloom and sun.

It joined our winding paths as one

and gave us strength to wend

through all our journeys, never done,

until our travels end.

The things that wove our tapestry

from something far beyond

the charms our hearts were prone to see

gave us a steadfast bond.

The cut of cloth fate spun with care

and sewed throughout our past

gave us enduring strength to bear

the tests ahead and last.

The strains of life, though hard to face

leave us still closer knit

and strengthen ties that interlace

our union bit by bit.

The fibers wound and threaded through

ordeals we overcame

pulled us together as we grew

against the burning flame.

Though life continues to assail

with its relentless surge,

our composition’s fine detail

continues to emerge.

They stitched across a canvas bare

a tailored work of art

until embroidered deep with care,

we stood as one in heart.
