"The Plan of the Master Weaver"
Author Unknown
Our lives are but fine weaving
That "God" and we prepare,
Each life becomes a fabric planned
And fashioned in "His" care.
We may not always see just how
The weaving intertwines,
But we must trust the Masters hand
And follow "His" design.
For He can view the pattern
Upon the upper side,
While we must look from underneath
And trust in "Him" to guide.
Sometimes a strand of sorrow
Is added to "His" plan,
And though it's difficult for us,
We still must understand.
That it's "He" who fills the shuttle
It's "He" who knows what's best,
So we must weave in patience
And leave to "Him" the rest.
Not till the loom in silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall "God" unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needed
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern "He" has planned.

Ilmatar's loom spans the universe and even the gods see only part of the pattern.

Sounds like it was inspired by the Bible.

Read the Book of Job in the Old Testament.

Also, another metaphor the Bible uses instead of a weaver is a master potter. Does the pot ask the potter why it was created? Or why it was made this way or that?
