I painted a picture today.
It had you in mind.
It's sky was brilliant.
It was grounded in solid rocks.
The waves spoke in eloquent form.
It's mountains reached highest heavens.
It's valleys were full of peaceful streams.
You were there.
As if I were looking down from far above,
I could see you.
You were happy.
You had no more tears, no more pain.
Your smile was bright,
I knew that you had found something.
I tried to think of what it might be,
I wanted to paint it there with you.
I thought a while about what to stroke,
My brush in hand, my paints in the other.
So I painted an eagle in the sky for a while,
Until I could get it right.
"What might make you happy?" I thought.
I painted a tree and then a steer.
I was lost for a moment.
Why can't I think of something to make you happy?
I want it to bring you peace.
I want it to bring you joy.
You need it live each day and night, even when your away.
You must have it by your side,
You will keep it in your heart.
But I am lost, so lost this moment.
I don't know what to paint for you.
I wish I could ask you to help me.
But this, I shouldn't do.
Tell me, tell me, what do you desire?
What would make you happiest?
What shall I paint for you today?
