Would you fashion a portrait with brush in hand You know it so well, the images of me unveil Where others can see the escape of love from me Just paint me With each stroke you take, will a smile be on my face Will you paint over these tears, or can you erase Mask me with joy, cover the grief and pain Would you paint me Mark my face with lines of age, color my hair with the softness of gray Will the fears all be covered with your gentle hands of grace All doubts you can remove from this rugged somber face You will have to paint me Will it be a portrait of misery from sleep way overdue Icy stare from my eyes with droplets of morning dew Can you paint a dream, and if so make it come true Then please paint me |

Yo Paul, Look on the bright side buddy. You're supposed to paint your own face. This is an interesting write. Bobby |

I think everyone wants just one person to actually "see" them and preferably someone they love. This is a beautiful theme. I truly enjoyed this. |

I really liked the sentiments and the rhyming pattern you did here. 'Paints' a great picture. |

This is achingly beautiful. What a lovely request...to be seen for who you truly are, and appreciated as a subject worthy of the artistry at hand. Yes, I feel this one in my soul. |
