Secret Spinner

Little did you know when you drew this
that you were the secret spinner,
misspelled at first then finding your way.
You spun your way through a beautiful life
that ended one day, too soon, but one day,
one day. You spilled your loveliness on all
that you touched, even your life, spinning
your way to eternity, but leaving traces of yourself
in other grateful lives.
What can I say, little secret spinner,
that your love satisfied my soul,
that we ate raisins and watched Shumbach together,
or that I held you close and rocked you?
No, no. No one will remember that.
Only I and you, little secret spinner.
I can't wait to see what you have spun,
what you have done,
since I sang to you, Sit by the fire and spinaway,
spin, spin, spinaway.

i loved these lines;
that we ate raisins and watched Shumbach together, i have no idea what shumbach is...a pet perhaps?

You spilled your loveliness on all
that you touched, even your life, spinning
your way to eternity, feels sad yet so uplifting. as though a great deed was done.

obviously about a loved one though we don't get to see what was drawn.
very poignant and lovely
