Simply Sunday

On January 30, 2022 By Piano girl

I picture my mom
Gently folding the edge
Of an embroidered
Cloth napkin
A needle piercing
In even spaces
Crafting tiny holes
For a thread to weave
Over and under
Giving the fabric
A new strength
A renewed purpose

Hem me in
Fold in my
Rough edges
Sewing
A seam
Of hope
The stitches
May hurt
But they will heal
Giving my heart
A new strength
A renewed purpose

You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Psalm 139:5

So beautiful Kelley,

This…

The stitches
May hurt
But they will heal
Giving my heart
A new strength
A renewed purpose

What a wonderful poem. I especially like these lines,
“Hem me in
Fold in my
Rough edges”
