Latticework

Oh, the net of life you weave,
Desperate souls, searching,
For companions of empathy,
To testify with tears of prayer.

You cross our paths like shooting stars,
Each streak designed by thee,
To lead us through the furnace of life,
Adding your grace to shared vignettes.

You stop the rain to show us the way,
To a finding ground of your warm sun,
And thread your message of compassion,
In a sewing bee of spinning love.
