The
Art of Craft Take
techniques and wonder at colour Feel
the symbols affect you that are hidden Fly
with flowers and breathe with fairies Deft
and dynamic be active and skilled Hands
are at the heart of creating From
sweets to gloves Dress
friends and give greetings Grow
in yourself and your place in the world Just
hanging tapestries; wearing jewellery Fulfilled
we can help others Teaching,
on-looking and imagining Sail
with your heart See
with the inner eye Catch
the light Be
beautiful in everything that you hold Making
life prettier Making
people happier Making
things for yourself Point
the way, Home Sweet Home, Raise a glass Pleasure
from quite moments can change life forever Relax
and remember the places you’ve been to Recall
all your heart in this one piece of clay You
can be yourself You
can reach to the angels Entertaining
never boring you have achieved As
something inside us is roused from a slumber Wonder
abounds in us all and we thank you You
as you craft are changing life rapidly All
around will be different As
we see where you dream Let
light and shadow play Showing
ways To
share, to mix, to meet, to learn Thank
you arts and crafts We
have found ourselves And
we are alive. The
lists of aspects brought about this poem. If everyone wrote (or spoke) a nice
line to do with arts and crafts and what is good about them; how we can be
affected by them. |
