A poem on the sewing machine at the GOL

The gift of healing is
an ever-changing journey.
The path is sometimes smooth,
the road is sometimes rough.

But always, the journey is a
beautiful tapestry
woven of yesterday's memories
and tomorrow's dreams.

The gift of healing is an ever
changing journey with threads
of faith and courage
intertwined among the gentle
colors of hope.

And though the road is sometimes
long, and our hearts sometimes
grow, weary,

There is joy in the knowledge
that we are walking ever closer
to the healing gift of peace.
