Master Weaver

God is the weaver at the loom of life;

tending its warp and weft.

Thread by thread, the shuttle slides

until the cloth’s complete.

We cannot know the pattern planned;

we cannot read its way

but when the cloth is finally laid;

its colors, threading design;

we’ll have a measure of the faith we held
in the weaver of the cloth.
