The Weaver

My life is but a weaving between the Lord and me;
I do not choose the colors He weaveth steadily,
Oft times He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
Not 'til the loom is silent and shuttles cease to fly
will God unfurl the canvas and reveal the reason why
The dark threads were as needful in the master's skillful hand
as the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.
