Weaver of life let me look and see
The pattern of my life gone by
Shown on your tapestry
Just for one second
one glance upon your loom
The flower of my childhood
could appear within this room
Does it of my youth
show tears of yesterday
Broken hearts within a heart
as love first came my way
Did the lifeline patterns
change as I became a man
An added aura untold blend
as I asked for her hand
Did your golden needle sow
its thread virginal white
As lovers we embraced as one
upon our wedding night
Did you capture all the joys
the birth of our first son
The happiness of family
made a brother for the one
The growing of the brothers
the manliness that grew
Is it there in detail is it there to view
Do the sparks of life grow bright
as one by one they wed
To live as fathers husbands
apart from lives they've led
Are my lover's threads cut off
when aged she laid to rest
My sorrow blacking out a space
upon our woven crest
A gathering for the last time as
her coffin slowly lain
Ash to ashes dust to dust
one day we will regain
Does it show the visits when
grandchildren on my knee
But only hearing laughter
when age took my sight from me
Lastly through these last few years
of loniless maybe
Does by sight a shooting star
fade from your tapestry
But wait there in the distance
your loom I think I see
Could it be that after all
my prayers you've answered me
After days of wondering
I see the reason why
You've kept it to this minute
for I'm about to die
Weaver of life at last now I can see
The pattern of my life gone
by upon your tapestry
