xxxxxxlife was all-around better

On grandmother's wall between two gaudy candlestick holders
There hangs the tapestry that
xxxxxxshows seasons of old
xxxxxxshows hard-working days
xxxxxxshows well-deserved nights

An abundantcy of knowledge and an immeasurable sum of
life can be experienced among
xxxxxxeach solitary color
xxxxxxeach delicate stitch
xxxxxxeach woven thread

Handed down from mother to daughter are generations of
Learning and loving through the art of a single tapestry.

Very evocative, full of imagery and a subtle rhythm.
