Weaver of life, let me look and see The pattern of my life gone by Shown on your tapestry Just for one second, one glance upon your loom The flower of my childhood could appear within this room Does it of my youth show tears of yesterday Broken hearts within a heart as love first came my way Did the lifeline patterns change as I became a man An added aura untold blends as I asked for her hand Did your golden needle sow its thread virginal white As lovers we embraced as one upon our wedding night Did you capture all the joys, the birth of our first son The happiness of family made a brother for the one The growing of the brothers, the manliness that grew Is it there in detail, is it there to view Do the sparks of life grow bright as one by one they wed To live as fathers, husbands, apart from lives they've led Are my lover's threads cut off when aged she laid to rest My sorrow blacking out a space upon our woven crest A gathering for the last time as her coffin slowly lain Ash to ashes, dust to dust, one day we will regain Does it show the visits when grandchildren on my knee But only hearing laughter when age took my sight from me Lastly through these last few years of loneliness maybe Does by sight a shooting star fade from your tapestry But wait, there in the distance your loom I think I see Could it be that after all my prayers you've answered me After days of wondering I see the reason why You've kept it to this minute for I'm about to die Weaver of life, at last now I can see The pattern of my life gone by upon your tapestry
