Weaving a Tapestry--By George L. Ellison--England

Weaving  a Tapestry

I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE below me though you’re SO FAR AWAY
IT’S TOO LATE now to hope that you will come back HOME AGAIN;
You always were so BEAUTIFUL But now you are WAY OVER YONDER
Please hear me and know That YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND
WHEREever YOU LEAD I will wander
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW? I really have to know
Like SMACKWATER JACK on the rampage I’m always on the go
So I’ll continue to weave my TAPESTRY of the NATURAL WOMAN  
That I love more than you could know

Note--Capitalized words are song titles from Carole King’s Tapestry album

  2. This is a wonderfully romantic poem, a bit of sadness to it and a bit of hope. It leaves the reader wanting to say to "the natural woman" you need to get back with this man! Well done.

  5. George, this is quite a magnificent tribute to an amazing song writer. I've always enjoyed Carol King's work, but when I saw her in "Blood Brothers" on Broadway, I was amazed by her acting ability too. Thank you for sharing this! Best wishes, Carolyn
