ARTISTS AND CANVASES

May we be blessed to understand how we are all artists 
as well as canvases…incomplete
How we paint a little of ourselves on everyone we meet

And how everyone we meet…
paints a little of themselves on us as well.
sometime the strokes are bold and colorful…
sometimes they’re so subtle it’s difficult to tell.

And how it doesn’t matter if they are family , friends
or people we meet in passing and have long ago forgot their names 
once we’ve painted on each other…
we will never be the same
