Arrived with just my name <br />answering a call as did lead females <br />he'd dressed while earning fame. <br />So after the audience was over <br />hidden under cover <br /> <br />suspended from a rail <br />hung the attire of a heroine <br />who'd stepped out of the page; <br />moreover, kindly told that this was true <br />only a moments view. <br /> <br />Just a moment in time, <br />pondered the tale of doom from Hardy's pen <br />but a moment of mine <br />committed, there up on to stitch and hem <br />a winding path to wend. <br /> <br />Quite remarkable then, <br />excited acceptance: fate's fortune fixed. <br />And I have thought often <br />about a want of faith amid success <br />God's gifts were abundant <br />in that artistic place.<br /><br />Gillian.E.
