Patches Poem by James B. Earley

Patches

Rating: 5.0


When death ends life
A thread is torn
The knot is tied
And the child is born

The cycle but
A fabric patched
Together bound
Though unattached

The needle sews
Yet darkness reign
While shadows ask
Why is the pain

When death ends life
And the thread is torn
And the knot is tied
And the child is born

Love this and the idea of the thread that ending one life also begins another. Thanks

I have seen this happen many times and it's painful and yet wonderful at the same time but it's the pattern of life. You said it so beautifully, my friend! A '10! ' Warm Wishes, Marilyn
