Help Me To Sew Life’s Quilt
POETRY FORMAT, 27 August 2012
by David Inkey – TRANSCEND Media Service
“Inkey appreciates the TMS publication of his with death poem, but he suggests the TMS coverage would not be complete without also including his sewing life poem.”
Help me to sew life’s quilt…
I count the squares of life’s quilt, with a kind sigh…
And the tally is quite high…
Help me to sew life’s quilt…
I am not all innocent,
Nor am i full of guilt…
Help me to sow life’s quilt…
In a great field I turned around a piece marked Evil,
I found the reversed peace spelled Live…
Help me to sow life’s quilt…
The next peace reads Love…
