the Beauty of Being Me\ by Stephen Douglas
I’m learning to be weaved.
I’m a coloured piece of string
Nothing much to please, on my own.
But one day I found, when not alone
My Beauty of Being Me shone with others.
Each helping one another to be woven
Into a priceless, colourful tapestry.
When I stopped gazing at my own hue
Stopped comparing and allowed myself
To be moved, positioned, to a pattern unseen
I understood Life is happening, anyway.
Acceptance of my being, bound with others,
Revealed my beauty in the blend.
I learnt, in time, to allow myself to move
Within the tapestries embrace, as a string
Of Beauty, vibrant; single but not alone.
I use to think my colour given by Life
Wasn’t exciting. Not much; nothing special.
But after much inner questioning and learning,
I understood I’m special; I’m the only one!
Alongside many strings, each unique
There’s me! Nothing plain at all!
I found being humble enough to let the
The Master Weaver weave me helps!
Embracing what I thought a flaw, a mistake
Allowed the beauty of my string to glow.
Doing something I’d never done before
Or asking ”why” is important too!
To ”see” the pattern I was part of helped
To understand, what my ”weaving” was doing.
The Master Weaver became invaluable.
I didn’t realize I was being weaved till later.
Wow, it’s together with other colourful strings
Each in their rightful place, which reveals the
Beauty of Being Me.
