Poem From a papermaker
By Loreta C. Rafisura

FROM A PAPER MAKER…

Colors, fiber
-----and flowers-
-----texture, beauty
-----and forms

They make my world go round.

When I make these sheets
-----my heart swells
-----with the fulfillment
-----of creation

It’s only paper
-----but it’s also me!

And when I hand you this
-----to keep and enjoy

A little of me is
-----with you

A little of God’s wonder
-----I give you!
