Picture Perfect

A road in it's beauty

no beginning or end,

a young boy is waving

to his family, or friend;

~

the sky, and the clouds

at the top of the scene,

with a lake in the foreground

all calm and serene.

~

The distant mountains

so prominant and blue,

to make this scene permanent

it would only take glue;

~

off in the meadow

a house so small,

beside it the boy,

a horse, and a stall.

~

The boy with no hand

I place on the mare's muzzle,

and I've finally finished

my first jig-saw puzzle !
