Grandma's Metaphor.

Lille is a stocking. grandma says,
And yours is just begun
But am knitting the toe OF mine
And my work is almost done.
with merry hearts we begin TO knit,
And the ribbing is almost play.
Some are gay colored and some are white.
And some are ashen gray.
But most are made OF many hue,
With many a stitch set wrong.
And many a row TO be sadly ripped,
Ere the whole is fair and strong
There are long stretches without break,
That in you are hard TO bear;
And many aweary tear is dropped,
And we fashion the heel with care.
But the saddest. happiest time is that
We court and yet would shun.
When our heavenly Father breaks the thread
And says our work is done
