the needles were once
in capable hands
though having been grasped
they resided with man
the power now his
a pattern he made
as the intended design
had started to fade
having not seen his folly
until it was done
he reveled in foolishness
believing it fun
finding too late
that his fate had been turned
his whole world ending
the bridges all burned
then without hesitation
he gave up control
with nothing to offer
and nowhere to go
tugging the strand
his life comes undone
but as it unravels
he trusts in the one
who knit him together
to fix it again
knowing that this
is just part of His plan
he’s now happy to live
one stitch at a time
watching the Knitter
work His design
