THE MOSAIC

WHAT IS A MOSAIC? YOU ASKED ME.

IT IS A DECORATIVE DESIGN ON A SURFACE

MADE BY INLAYING SMALL PIECES

OF GLASS, OR TILE, IN CEMENT.

HOW DOES IT APPLY TO ME? YOU ASKED ME.

IT APPLIES TO EACH OF US IN THIS MANNER;

EACH PERSON WITH WHOM WE MEET,

PLACES HIMSELF, VERY DISCREETLY,

IN A CERTAIN PLACE AND DESIGN,

IN OUR LIVES.

THE MOSAIC BEGINS TO GROW IN TIME

AND HAS BECOME A PARADIGM

OF FRIENDSHIPS FORMED IN LIFE.

MOST HAVE BEEN FORMED WITHOUT STRIFE.

EACH PERSON ADDS A GLORIOUS COLOR

TO PRESS WITHIN THE CEMENT

OF OUR HEARTS, ALL MULTICOLORS,

COLORS THAT CANNOT BE RENT

FROM US, THEY ARE THERE FOREVER-MORE,

FOR FRIENDSHIPS WITHIN THIS MOSAIC

ARE SET, THEY ARE SOLID TO THE CORE.

THEY ARE NOT ORDINARY, NOT PROSAIC.

THEY ARE STRONG AND SHALL ADORE

EACH PIECE OF THE MOSAIC, EACH AND
EVERY ONE,

FOR EACH PIECE REPRESENTS A HEART,

AND A LIFE IN THE SETTING SUN.

THE COLORS OF THE FRIENDS ARE BEAUTIFUL,

THEY ARE OF CLEAR AND GLORIOUS HUES.

MY FRIENDS ARE ALL SO VALUABLE TO ME,

AS I KNOW THEY ARE TO YOU.

HOW LOVELY IS THIS MOSAIC! IT IS SO TRUE

THAT THIS MOSAIC IS ALL OUR HEARTS

MELDED TOGETHER WITH THE CEMENT

THAT CAN NEVER BE PARTED.

IT IS THE CEMENT OF LOVE.

WHAT A GLORIOUS MOSAIC I HAVE,

DON'T YOU?
