The Thread
It’s just a thread, a lowly thread -
Holding everything together,
Though it can be cut at any time.
For some, its texture is silken -
Royalty and the very rich possess it,
But your thread may be golden or silver,
Or just plated -
Depending on where you are on the ladder
Of prestige and power - there is a difference!
For others, the thread is rope -
Hemp, wire, or heaven-forbid - plastic!
(Let’s hope rope is used to strengthen -
Not to weaken.)
Whichever form it takes,
Your thread is the most important
You will ever own -
It’s called - “the thread of life”.
