Need help finding a poem!

Need help finding a poem, might be called 'life is a ball of string' trued googling but cant find it.

My MIL has recently passed and dp has mentioned this poem that she liked, so trying to find it for possible funeral or something. Thought of here straight away to try and find it...

It's not this is it:

'Life is like a tangled ball of wool
That begins with nothing and ends with nothing':
Be sure then that these threads
Are knitted into the headscarf and socks of infinity
With humility, humanity and good deeds
And if you can unravel at times
To entertain a kitten, do so.
Keith Shorrocks Johnson
