THE TAPESTRY

THE TAPESTRY

Falling apart

She became like art

Picking up the pieces

Of her beautiful heart

She spun her pain into gold

As her tapestry, unfolds

Revealing a lifetime of resilience

As her story gets told

The gold threads, it's true

But it's the dark painful threads, too

That reveals the power, the strength

Of all she's gone through

Sorrow dances in the rain

She's spun her loss into gain

She turned tragedy into beauty

Creating art, from her pain

She hopes the world will see

There's life after tragedy

Keep looking for the dark threads

They're the gold, through out your story

This is magnificently creative & eloquently empowering for those who may have not have recognized the beauty they possess ..,within/ without...... at any given point in our lives we are ALL capable of the extraordinary...... this write takes that idea and spins it into the grandiose beauty inherent in human potential (especially women in this case)

                "Look for the dark threads
                  they're the GOLD in your
                                story"

Thank you Tony! You always inspire and empower me with your encouragement!  I get kind of excited when I see a glimpse of my spirit and what it's capable of.  I may muddle through some sad places, but I come out fighting. THANK YOU!
