i can’t paint,
but the colors
that come to mind
when i think of you…
are bold and bright,
don’t run from anything,
don’t blanch for anyone,
soar on your standard,
representing your soul,
full of love,
full of life,
full of dreams fulfilled
by sparks of laughter and joy
on an ocean of brilliant stars
bringing happiness to my heart
every time i unveil you
on a canvas
painted with my words
