(I can't paint, but my Grandma can!) my Grandmother has an artist's heart her fingertips can fashion wondrous delights as she sees visions in her mind of oceans and mountains and fields and the desire to paint strikes her brush flying over the blank canvas creating a glimpse into her dreams she always dreamed I'd paint too but my fingers feel like stone when I lift a brush or charcoal to untouched canvas and the beauty in my heart won't make the short trip from mind to paper yet when I pick up a pen to inscribe words of nature's rapturous beauty the vision flows from me and I paint yes I paint with pen and word ------------------ "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~Eleanor Roosevelt~ |

Thanks, I should show it to her, but I am a bit nervous LOL ! Poems are such personal things when we share them with people who know us IRL. ~X~ |

Lovely poem, Angel. And your grandmother would be proud. ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

I tend to disagree...I think you paint just fine, only with a pen instead of a brush |

X Angel, Painting is painting what matters the midium? If you show her your words she might put them to paint. Now would'nt that be nice? Good poem. |

I think that painting grandma will understand the art of painting words you do so well for they both come from the heart. |

Thanks you guys so much! It made my day to come home after work tonight and see all these replies. My Grams is important to me! I think I'll give her this for Christmas or something. ~X~ ------------------ "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~Eleanor Roosevelt~ |
