A TAPESTRY

You must love yourself before you love another
We must heal ourselves that we may heal our mother

The tapestry we wish to weave
Is ours to have if we believe
That all are woven from the loom
Of Mother Earth's bountiful womb
So each thread adds to the design
By its own unique align-
Ment with the total scheme of things
Connected with all other strings

Innately we all know the quest
By knowing self we raise the rest
So trust yourself to get you thru
The healing process starts with you
And when your life begins to mend
You'll find the living Earth to bend
Her loving self to mirror our ways
That we may happ'ly live our days
Individuals in the All --
A tapestry upon the wall
