Paint for me a picture
Let your heart take full command
Use the colors in your palette
To paint two lovers on the sand

Let us act out a love scene
Straight out of Romeo & Juliet
We'll pretend to be new lovers
As if we have only just met

Paint for me a heart
Containing both of our names
As we surrender to one another
My heart is yours to tame

Paint for me a rainbow
Across a sky of sapphire blue
And write high up in the heavens
Three words saying 'I love you'

Paint for me a garden
With heavenly fragrance all around
To fill up all my senses
With every sight and sound

Paint for me our future
For all eternity our love will shine
I'll give to you my heart
If you promise you'll always be mine

Paint for me perfection
For I now have everything you see
And that picture of perfection
Is standing right in front of me

The title says it all, Sue! And I cannot add to perfection, so I will simply applaud!

And remember once you told me you couldn't write poetry?  Someone you know somewhere, absolutely is beaming in pride at your accomplishments.  This was simply lovely Sue, and if you get that painting done, ask if the artist has a brother for me will you?
