I'Ll Take the Gray Canvas

I'll take the gray canvas and paint it, 
To make life Shine a hundredfold. 
Every day I will decorate with a palette. 
I will weave pearls of rewards in them. 

I'll go through memory like a rainbow, 
Paint a black-and-white movie, 
I'll paint all the tablecloths white, 
And I'll throw my sadness away. 

I will erase the gray color from the canvas, 
Its texture will be thrown out of memory. 
I'll make a new hundred tomorrow, 
And can be in orange ornament. 

I'll paint a mental light bulb 
To burn them even in the night 
And they warmed my tender fingers 
And sent the sad away.
