POEM: The Lace of Our Lives
February 8, 2021 by Frances Macaulay Forde
The Lace of Our Lives
Silver slivers wind their way
memory-wire threaded
through life’s everyday
by words loved-ones said.
Images beaded round and whole
capture a moment so long ago
The lace of our lives sewn
many-coloured silken thread
spun by loves we’ve known
never cut by distance or death.
Feelings remembered when old
as years finally take their grim toll
A rich tapestry wrapped around the heart
woven by a gentle finger-touch at the start

Thank you, Liz. My apologies, I have been somewhat distracted by the school holidays. The kids returned to school yesterday after a COVID induced extra week of holidays… all clear again now. Stay safe and well.
