A TREASURED WORK OF ART

How is it a family portrait…drawn with stick figures in crayon
with a sun and what looks like some clouds up in the sky
can make you smile…
touch your heart…
and bring a teardrop to your eye?

Could it be you know the artist
his work is familiar to you?
Could it be you love the artist…
and the artist loves you too?

Which is why a family portrait drawn in crayon…
can bring a teardrop to your eye
make you smile
touch your heart
and why it now hangs on your refrigerator…
as a treasured work of art.
