PoetryPaintingInProgress

My life is a painting in progress
Every hue of the rainbow is used
On the canvas is my life's story
Depicted in reds, greens and blues

Every brushstroke tells a story
Every color tells how I felt
If you look closely upon it
You can see me in prayer as I knelt

The splashes of color will enfold you
And tenderly tell you my tale
You'll see many uplifting moments
And some moments when I did fail

Love takes up most of the painting
It's the warmest of color you'll find
It flows ever on through my gardens
And will flow into your heart and mind

Sometimes my gardens look empty
But many are dwelling there
It may have been a dark moment
Or one when I was filled with despair

But look deeply into the painting
And soft colors slowly will rise
They will dance across the canvas
And show the many colors of our lives

As you journey on through the painting
My life's story will unfold
When through the unfurled painting you travel
You will see me growing old

And when my life's journey is ended
The colors will not fade away
They will be the most brilliant and dazzling
As on me dawns a new day

Many more colors will be added
As up to heaven and God I climb
This painting will never be finished
It will just go on throughout time
