Life Art

Choose your colour, take a brush

Remember, it’s not a race, so don’t you rush

Reach deep in your heart and try to feel

Take all your emotions and make them real

Stand in front of your whitewashed wall

And brush in hand, it’s your call

Paint something meaningful, paint something sweet

If your imagination wishes, just paint some feet

It doesn’t really need to look like anything

Your feelings could be infinite like a ring

You may even find that your work’s incomplete

So remember to stop and take a moment to eat

If finally, you feel you’ve finished your art

You should take a step back and listen to your heart

You wont have captured what’s inside

There’ll still be memories that are trying to hide

Your painting will change throughout the years

Through love, loss, excitement, laughter and tears

And when eventually your life is through

Your wall will remain; a picture of you
