PATTERNS Upon Jrhe homespun warp of lask-filled days Our unskilled eager hands have wound gay Threads Of laughler, golden blue of Au'rumn's haze On foolloall aflernoons, a song in shreds. And shimmering amelhysl' of ardenl dreams: Bul comradeship's sloul cord is Jrwisled Through So making fragile beauly slrong. The seams And snags are losl in splendid pallern, Jrrue In line and color To a vision caughl And held in hungry lingers. We have known Full recompense in finding our work wroughl, And feeling lhal is good which is our own. The web is woven. Touch if reverenlly. F-our years of youih is precious Jrapeslrry.
