Share My World

Beading in progress, Enkong'u Narok, Amboseli, Kenya

I Shall rebuild my world today
Without a sob or sigh,
Assembling and securing it
Ere fleeting time deny.

I shall rebuild my shattered world
More wisely than before,
Shall fashion it with faith and prayer
And love shall be the door.

And when I have rebuilt my world
Uncircumscribed and free
I shall invite all humankind
To share my world with me.

Georgia Douglas Johnson, 1880 - 1966
