- The Pattern Of Life
- Like A Patchwork Quilt!
- Life isn't given to us all
of a piece,
It's more like a patchwork quilt -
Each hour and minute a patch to fit in
To the pattern that's being built.
And some that seem ever so dull -
But if we were given to set some apart,
We'd hardly know which to cull.
For it takes the dark patches
to set off the light,
And the dull to show up the
gay -
And, somehow, the pattern
just wouldn't be right
If we took any part away.
No, life isn't given us all
of a piece,
But in patches of hours to
use,
That each can work out his
pattern of life
To whatever design he might
choose.
