We are inextricably interwoven
Like the yarn our grandmas used
To craft warm scarves
Each thread unique, bright
Colors tied tight, one knot at a time
A web of love connected through the ages
Purl, Knit, Purl, Knit
Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl
Alone—Fragile
Strong
In delicate married tendrils
That will never be torn apart

— María J. Estrada
