A Precious clothe
You look at things and see them as bad,
So the rest of your day seems bleak and sad.
Your friend looks at everything with a smile,
So everything looks good for miles.
You look around and see the bad,
You question it with a frown.
How could he let these bad things happen to us?
You answer He must not be around.
These thoughts are not uncommon,
I will answer your question for I know,
He loves us each and wants us to grow.
Even though you may not see,
It is good for both you and me.
Our lives are hand stitched for each of us,
He truly cares and makes a fuss.
A cloth filled with knots is in front of you,
It looks mighty messy like the artist should have used glue.
You wonder why would someone make something so ugly and grotesque,
But you will see it is your life filled with tests.
Yes it is true the cloth is your life,
The knots that are there have helped you though strife.
They made you stronger and what you are today,
For when you turn over your piece of clothe,
You will see there is no knot for naught.
They hold the thread nice and tight in place for you,
Making a masterpiece of your life and what you do.
The picture is truly stunning all would agree,
And now you know it is all meant to be.
Whether you admit it to yourself now or at the end of your life,
The reflection in the mirror will look back and say nice.
So now with what you know,
You will pass your test for sure.
A smile you will give to all you see,
A wonderful day it is bound to be.
