Painstakingly, she handweaves grass <br />With bits of turquoise, river rocks, quartz; <br />An amazing artistry, a creation <br />Rich in color, texture; design. <br /> <br />Her life a similar tapestry, <br />Tending babies, minding the fire; <br />Cleaning pelts and taning hides <br />As provider of clothing and shelter. <br /> <br />When the night falls upon ‘this’ day <br />Her family, wrapped in warm furry love, <br />Will eat their freshly picked berries <br />From her beautifully made basket.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/devoted-weaver/
