Clay Pot


Being a clay pot must be tough.

You're born in a whirl.
Squeezed, pushed, and pulled.
Smeared in mud and slime.

Finally you're caressed into the perfect shape.
The artist decorates your surface.
Then it's off to the dryer and the kiln.

Et voila! A beautiful vase.

Sometimes life feels like being on a potter's wheel.
We feel moulded, squeezed, spun around.

It's scary unless we trust the Potter.
