The Lace Maker

THE LACEMAKER

by Karen A. Trettel

The Lace Maker-

With all her lace supplies;

Watch her quick fingers

And her intent eyes.

Creating beauty,

She plies her art;

of creating lasting beauty

To please her heart.

Each piece is so special,

Made with love and care;

Could be a flower, a doily

Or something to wear.

Lovely colors, or pure white,

She strives for perfection

With her fingers in flight.

Now we are all gathered here

With our own styles of lace,

With a smile in our heart

As well as our face.

Let us create and teach

 this lace we share!

Don't bicker, criticize,

Scoff or compare!

Around the world

Lace makers live;

To collect, create,

Study and give.

So let's work together.

On common ground we will stand;

To learn and grow

And give one another a hand.
