DECORATING INFORMATION

The tapestry is begun. Here's the start---
a flourishing of flowers and bells and rings and ribbons
And now to take the first bright threads
of joy and stitch them into place.
There is no pattern you can follow.
Time will hand you silks and cottons of every hue,
lengths of gold and silver, knotted darkness.
You must accept them all-and yet, together,
you can create from them a wonder, a strength,
a beauty utterly your own

Pam Brown 1928
