Here is a poem you might like

Life is like a patchwork quilt and each little patch is a day.
Some patches are rosy, happy and bright, some are dark and gray.
But each little patch as it's fitted in and sewn to keep it together,
Makes a finished block in this life of ours, filled with sun and rainy weather.
So let me work on life's patchwork quilt, through rainy days and sun.
Trusting that when I have finished my block, the Master may say,
"Well done"
