PAINT ME A PICTURE
(2)

By Josie Whitehead

Paint Me a Picture (2)

Paint me a picture to light up my heart.

Take paints and a paintbrush and come, let us start.

     Paint me a picture of moonshine and stars,

     Not a dusty dry planet like faraway mars.

   

Paint azure blue seas and an *indigo sky

And ships with white sails that slowly glide by.

     Paint me a picture of icebergs and snow

     And paint children playing, their faces aglow.

 

Paint me a picture that, when winter’s here,

It will light up my life with contentment and cheer.

     Paint me a picture of sunset red skies –

     A picture of beauty to delight human eyes.

 

Paint me a picture – yes, paint one today -

That’s colourful, cheerful - not gloomy and grey.  

    Paint red rosy apples and red berries too –

    And paint for me something that’s different and new.
