Love’S Fabric Woven Together: A Collection of Poems from Family

By A. L. Green-Williams, Anthony R. Williams and W. Winsle Wiggins IV

Quilts are made of many multi-colored patches of varying design. Alone, each square is nothing but a tiny piece of a bigger puzzle. Together, these patches build to make something comforting and beautiful.

The same can be said of life: we are all small pieces of a whole, and together, we make a work of art. Loves Fabric Woven Together is a poetry collection penned by a father, mother, and son, each with his or her own unique life stories. We are all part of Gods quilt.

Why not?

By A.L. Green-Williams

Let’s be honest, let’s be friends.

Why not let all of our fears come to an end.

You know life is short, and we’re only here for a little while,

But why not forget all of that, and let it become the past.

Today is here and yesterday has gone away.

Why not take a chance if we may?

Why not?

I Thought

By A.L. Green-Williams

When I needed you, you were not there.

When I was down, you acted as if you didn’t care.

I thought we were friends.

Where were you when I needed a shoulder to lean on?

I thought we were friends.

Where were you when I was hungry, and needed a place
