Life
By Christina Knapp
Genre: Poetry Level: Elementary 4-6
Year: 2001 Category: UAA/ADN Creative Writing Contest

Life is a quilt of moments
Following a steady pattern,
Birth, life, death
It never changes,
It never stops
Life goes on.

If life is a quilt,
Creatures are the squares.
Each square is strange and beautiful,
Each square is different,
The stitches connect us.

If the creatures are the squares,
The environment is the fabric.
The squares use up the fabric and always want more,
Some day the fabric will run out,

See how everything is woven together,
See how everything depends on everything else,
See the quilt,
See the life!
