PAINT A PICTURE
If I could paint the glorious picture that dwells in my heart,
The love that swells for my family ‘twould be a work of art,
Colours of the rainbow would dance across a perfect sky,
And a lovely nature scene would go passing slowly by.
But hour by hour by hour the picture would have to change
As my heart wanders to one place and another and back again.
A picture full of family faces that are a great treasure to me,
Remembering every feature so I will know them for eternity.
In my heart is the laughter just like gentle summer rain,
Each one I love deep in my heart forever with me remain,
A picture full of joy and happiness on a canvas quite rare,
For it has to capture a sweet glance of eternal love on there.
If there is any artist with the talent that is truly divine,
Please come and paint a picture of this loving heart of mine.
For sometimes I don’t show just how much I really care,
And I want them all to know my love is like a constant prayer.
