A Little Girl's Peacock

A Little Girl’s Peacock The vision she must have had A brightly colored peacock Many artists saw the magnificent creature They all spoke of it Some called it a toucan Others saw the peacock for what it was She knew what she wanted She wanted a beautiful bird Peacock or toucan she got what she wanted A beautiful bird that everyone wanted to see She brought to life the entire spectrum of color Such time she must have taken Every feather in place An eye that had so much life in it The bird was ready to jump off the canvas It was ready to take flight through a dense rain forest How could she have such a talent? No one taught her She had the passion in her heart So strong was her passion that every brushstroke was perfect It was almost as if she had the bird within her grasp For her age she made quite an impact Not one person thought that she was only 8 years old Such a talent at such a young age Some called it a miracle Others called it just a lucky shot If you ask that little girl She will tell you that it is just a painting of a peacock Nothing more, nothing more Just a peacock painted by a little girl And that is all that matters
