You were the beginning
You whispered through the ages
Through the tools, through the metal, the gems, the things
of the earth
The things I listened to…
The things I listened for, for the ways to work
to help them become what they innately sought to become
It was your voice that whispered through the things of the
earth
Your craft that worked through my hands
Your skill that brought the things of the earth from rock and
ore and made them into treasures worthy of our lore
Thank you for the blessing of your skill and knowledge given
to these hands through the mind and heart
