I painted a portrait of you
A long faded memory
From when we once knew
I retouch it often
To sharpen the clarity
Of the love
I have for you
I repainted the gray skies
To a happier shade of blue
Colored in a rainbow
Just for you
Your smile still remains
Frozen in time
I still wait for the day
If ever
When you/'/ll be

A Portrait Of You

A long faded memory
From when we once knew
I retouch it often
To sharpen the clarity
Of the love
I have for you
I repainted the gray skies
To a happier shade of blue
Colored in a rainbow
Just for you
Your smile still remains
Frozen in time
I still wait for the day
If ever
When you/'/ll be
Forever mine

When our love is not as we wish it to be, we have the ability to make a weed a rose.
Love choses us and we follow.
I am fortunate to have a man like you in my life; who sees me as he wishes me to be. Love is blind.
My fortune is his fantasy.
The love you describe here is a gift. Whoever she is, she is surely a fool.

A delicate brush painted this piece. There is a softness that is enjoyable throughout accompanied by vulnerability.

Well done
