Our lives we spin from delicate thread
As we learn and grow and flounder
The tapestry of our lives is often threatened
By the many evils we encounter
Stumbling through life we spend our time
Protecting ourselves from evil's pain
In the end we realize these evils
Bring color to the tapestries they stain.
Our characters are shaped by many things
Good and evil are necessities
Both are brilliant threads spun into who we are
The different colors of our tapestries
We should accept the things we cannot change
This through experience we learn
The evils of life cannot unravel our threads
We should pay them no real concern
Evil is a permanence in our lives
Greed, anger, dishonesty and hate
But through them we come out showing true beauty
The colors of our tapestries looking great
