Adding the trinket
expelled from the trees
a special box
filled with leaves
Pasted on the canvas
an expression of self
the child was excited
her muse was an elf
Enchanted stories
filled her mind
beauty is everywhere
all life is intertwined
The canvas hangs
in a treasured place
memories of childhood
that can’t be erased
Now an adult
a family appears
the canvas is still special
the muse is still dear
Surrounded by grandchildren
the canvas comes down
stories of innocence told
having found common ground

The thoughts and feelings shared by many an artwork owner especially if it was painted or gifted by a family member. Very inspiring, well done.
Thank you. I agree. Have a wonderful day!
Sounds like around here when my kids would bring home trinkets and wonders from the bush home. Thanks for joining in Debbie 🙂 🙂
