I just came across this wonderful poem about time and wanted to share it.
It is by an anonymous writer.
Man's life is laid in the loom of time
To a pattern he does not see
While the weavers work and the shuttles fly
Till the dawn of eternity.
Some shuttles are filled with silver threads
And some with threads of gold
While often but the darker hues
Are all that they may hold.
But the weaver watches with skilful eye
Each shuttle fly to and fro
And sees the pattern so deftly wrought
As the loom moves sure and slow.
God surely planned the pattern
Each thread, the dark and fair
Is chosen by His master skill
And placed in the web with care.
He only knows its beauty,
And guides the shuttles which hold
The threads so unattractive
As well as the threads of gold.
Not till each loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God reveal the pattern
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads were as needful
In the weaver's skilful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
For the pattern which He planned.
