art with a niece

paint on her fingers
glitter on her nose
five-year-old playing
kneading and claying

Auntie know her heart
they’re not long apart
joyful lovely day
oozing cares away

art is in their souls
happiness the goal
a creative flare
laughter in the air

they garner a smile
loving all the while
woes are put aside
ideas on full glide

new art has begun
atmosphere of fun
dazzlingly wise
adventure on rise

they build an art wall
show off in the hall
cleverness on display
everything done their way
