Portrait of a Legacy

Sometimes I sit in wonder,

what have I to do with the color of the day?

Can I change the hues from rosey-red to blue?

has my outlook ever been so bold, as to banish the pigment with an attitude?

Affecting the rainbows in each and every eye?

What if it were up to each of us to contribute our artistic talents,

and use our own individual brush strokes,

to ensure a painting that we can be proud of?

Of course, the critics will always be in their corner,

adding brush strokes and fonts of their own;

but, if we heed them too seriously,

we may be assisting them into tricking us into using too much gray.

Yes.....we each have a pallette, and a brush...

..and the day is our canvas...

..and the world is our mural...

..and the mural will be our legacy.
