Blogging in Alphabetical Order brings us to the letter Y today. My last post with the letter Y is about Yarn. So obvious that is with it's connections to what we do. If you've not read the post, or would like to remember it, please do take time to click on the word Yarn above to read it.
Yarn is still the word I'm using for the letter Y, it's just so appropriate.
Some time back my SIL, Jan and a friend, Kathy wrote this poem as a writing exercise for me...for us, about what we do here on Bridge and Beyond. I thought I'd share it with you all here as it seems to be fitting.
The rhythm of the hook
as it moves the yarn around
Calls to me in whispers
a sweet familiar sound.
My hand moves almost dreamlike
without a thought or care
As I fashion something new
for someone cold to wear.
Perhaps a scarf or cap
Maybe a blanket too
With each and every stitch
I think of more to do
So when the cold winds blow
and when the snow falls down
My yarn helps me to remember
Forgotten people all around.
I am the one who’s blessed
As my warm hands stitch away
I pray the rhythm of my hook
Will help someone in some small way.
