Tapestry

Let us weave together.

I believe you and I
have come here today
to dust the cover,
then read together,
a book entitled,
Our Lives.

Pray tell me
why you think we come,
our spirits taking bodily form,
if not to be told
the very human story
about who we are
and the love flowing
through everything?

So let us lift up our souls
as we lift up this book
and rejoice in discovering
the sacred words
which weave our lives
into a magnificent tapestry.
