As the play of warp and weft
moves toward completion
the pattern coming ever clearer
it's the loose ends
that wait to be tied off
or simply cut
so many left dangling
it would be nice
to leave a neater legacy
an heirloom
for the grandchildren
but ragged edges
have their charm as well
and lives are woven
of such varied yarns
often quite mismatched
let's leave perfection
to the quilters and their craft
