Life Is a Canvas

Life is a canvas Displaying the paths we choose Waking moments are captured Hearts and minds recall Many chances are given Before the canvas is hung

It takes not so many words, to say so much, which you have done beautifully, Annalise. I often use too many in my poems, and have much to learn about "less being more". I love this simple poem very much. You do it so well. And another thing you do, is offer such generous and genuine kindness. Thank you so much for all your kind words throughout the year. I do notice, and so appreciate your encouragement. Thank you so much! Happy New Year, Annalise!!
