If you’re faced with fear and doubt
if you’re lost among the crowd
remember that the life we live
is like a spider’s web; we weave
it daily, making plans,
taking extraordinary stands,
and when we tire of desire
we kick back and enjoy our
ways, making sure we ascertain
the strands and all that they contain,
feasting on what’s been delivered,
saving some for rainy days.
So if it’s cut and torn
(our lovely web)
or if it’s altogether shorn
(in shreds)
remember that the webs we weave
they come and go, they stay or leave;
and if your web is under threat
just focus on yourself instead;
spiders need their webs to live
but humans weave the webs they live;
and if you love your web too much,
if the world seems out of touch,
remember, it’s the web that’s gone
but you’re still here, so weave along,
remind yourself of what it’s like
to weave your web — so ladylike —
remember, we are here for you,
we’ll help you weave your web anew.
