The Painting
By James H. Turner

Whenever I’m with you
The world is our view
We gaze out our window
And start to paint our show

You’ll start with yellow and pink
The highs of life, you’d think
I’ll put in some green and blue
To show that troubles brew

Next is some orange and red
Shows the passion that we have
Followed by some black and grey
A reminder to thank each day

The painting that we create
Is our lives and our fate
Our brushes swirl and flow
Creating the world, we know

The warm colors make us smile
We prefer to be here awhile
Then the cool colors creep in
And we paint them out again

The canvas that we create
Has no limit as to size and shape
The longer our brush strokes go
The more people join our show

The painting is now complete
It represents our lives, so sweet
We’ll pass it to our kin
And they’ll paint their details in

The painting that we create
Is our lives and our fate
Our brushes swirl and flow
Creating the world, we know

The warm colors make us smile
We prefer to be here awhile
Then the cool colors creep in
And we paint them out again

It’s the painting of our lives
Join us in our good times
It’s the painting of our lives
It’s the painting of our lives…
