God is the needle, Holy Spirit is the thread
Woven into the material where I am led…
Jesus is the frame when all is complete
Joy for the journey, praying life will be sweet!
Tiny stitches, forming my life, giving me hope to face each day
Allowing Jesus to have his way…
Each color a design, created through God’s hand…
Surrendering as he gives each command.
Traces of footprints, and stained with tears, giving me courage
To overcome my fears…
Creating love, so there’s no place for hate…
Bringing joy as He weaves, while I surrender and wait,
What will the tapestry reveal?
Each thread that’s given forms the scene
Of a life where only the artist can see what it means
To be a tapestry made by God’s hands.
Yes! Is my answer when he asks of me…
Will you be still? Will you stay true,
When all is finished while I’m creating you?
One last stitch and you will see,
You’re a masterpiece formed by me…
Child, you are now complete!
Framed by the one, who made me, you see,
Jesus, I am your tapestry!!!

I dedicate this poem to Lisset Sanchez. Your post about unity inspired me.
