Ruth Garrison Francis,  “Weavers of Life”

Pine Burr, The Yearbook of Beaumont High School, Beaumont, Texas, 1929
Each of us is a weaver Making a varied cloth; Each of us is a craftsman Who works at the loom of years. We spin the golden flax of hours Into our shining thread; The dye of our deeds gives us color, Drab or rich in its tone; And we weave our thoughts into patterns With swift shuttles of days. Each of us is a weaver; Life is the cloth we weave; God is the Master Craftsman Who judges our finished wares.
