My Friend Smith
You sit at the round table of oak
Your hands pick up the cloth and thread
Reflected joy in your eyes
Is as that of a drunken man to a wench
Today two flowers bloomed
One pink and one blue
From Her garden and your seeds they grew
The cloth flows freely in your hands
The patterns and colors differing
As the many faces you command
As the doll creator
You know how to make clothes of fair folk
Straight and sure
There shall be no mistakes
She counts on her knight
Whom gave Her, her voice
To care for the small buds
As they grow into flowers
The frost comes soon
They shall need coats
They shall need hats
It is up to you, my friend
Whom, as the farmer, sewn their seeds
Like the thread in your hands
To protect them
The fragile plants
Your children born anew
