Lace is lace is lace.....

For years I was a tatter
with shuttle, thread and hook.
I made quite lovely pieces
All copied from a book.
But then one day I came across
A bobbin lacy braid.
I tried the skill and caught the bug
And was thrilled with what I made.

So now I practice both the crafts,
And each one has its place.
The bobbin lace on pillow large
Sits in my special place
Where I can sit and lace away
In quiet and solitude
And concentrate on what I do
All in a peaceful mood.

But tatting's always with me
I'd never venture out
Without my bag of tatting
Of that I have no doubt.
It's there whenever waiting
Would mean some time to spare.
It's there to pick up any time
And add to lace that's there.

And yet from both these types of lace
The end result's the same
A piece of work so beautiful
No matter what the name.
