Love backwards The back of the tapestry, ugly as sin The question I ask, when did it begin Lying and cheating have woven a mess The sins we carried and didn't confess If I wasn't the one, Why not just say so I love you, and would of let you go The tapestry hangs our story of life Woven of sin , Husband and wife I hope to see the other side A beautiful picture that can't be denied God is an artist we can't understand But pain and confusion don't come from his hand We pick the colors, the pattern the thread He weaves a masterpiece before we are dead He taught you to love me before the end The tapestry a picture of me and a friend Love moves forward, but is understood backwards Michael Berta 4/25/2022
