Care,
child, for the lambs
You
will have in your trust.
Value
the blameless Lamb
Led
dumb to the shearers.
Spin
the gnarled fleece
To
taut, fine, warp.
Drench
the tight threads
Till
warm dyes permeate.
Weave
loose weft and tight warp
Into
a seamless garment.
Hem,
embroider, finish
In
fine stitching.
Lastly,
my daughter,
Wear
it with good grace.
We were - a little late - celebrating her 30th birthday yesterday.
