Closely Knit

Time and patience produces fine results,
just as time takes to resolve ones faults.
A patient mind and still hands with devoted heart,
can construct lovely, beautiful works of art.
As our heavenly Father created the world with intricacy,
designing each creature very meticulously.
Feeble hands can knit a masterpiece,
as one can produce love that will never cease.
Rugged hands can build a home,
one may set out on a journey of endless roam.
Some attempt to build empires of might,
some just marvel at glories sight.
Patience is surly a virtue to obtain,
quilt is produced from a life in vain.
God loves us all beyond our comprehension,
to become family united with Him is His intention.
All of us big and small, young and old,
have a dire need to take loves hold.
We are created by a Masters hand,
which forever by our sides He will stand.
It takes a Maker and material to produce,
a precious something to be put to use.
God offers His love, we must accept it,
for the impressions in His hands we closely fit.
We all are God's creation and lifes candle He has lit,
many just don't realize that to God we are closely knit.
