A painting it was on the wall
Of beauty which possessed it all
The finest detail one could see
Just living there to ever be

Its makeup was of sculptured skill
Of passion that no life could kill
Of dream that let a soul release
A legacy of masterpiece

Among the colours, blood and tears
Its undercoat of trial and years
Came to touch the living eye
Which saw its love and came to cry

A work of love, one can’t explain
A work of passion, love and pain
A gift that we are blessed to see
A painting that’s still touching me

I thought what skill, the gift of one
Who passion shared till love was done
Still sharing something from the years
Before the beauty disappears

And then I felt as if possessed
And yes indeed a little blessed
To find in moment that had been
A treasure only few had seen

And on and on this gift will last
Until the many years have passed
And of it I will write in pen
Until our passions meet again

Hello Rick. I wish that I could gaze upon this work of art that you warmly speak of. It sounds so full of love. Well done & much enjoyed. Chris
