    Rainbow Beads

    2000

    Your life is strung with sacred strings
    Of shining, rainbow beads
    Each capturing in brilliant ray
    Your shimmering thoughts and deeds

    You are the weaver of great skill
    But cannot craft alone
    The patterns hail from hidden source
    The colours are home-grown

    Each glistening bead becomes a gift
    Upon the trail of life
    And looking back, your path is strewn
    With sparkling gems of light

    This masterpiece of joy and strife
    This quilt without mistake
    Is ever-changing, never-ending -
    A meaning-filled mosaic

    So hold your beads up to the sun
    Let inspiration shine
    And thread your dreams upon the web
    Of Spirit's grand design
