Message To My Painter
Paint me as I am
Blemishes, blotches, scars on my skin
Warts and all
Yellow teeth, my head going bald
Paint me fat if that I be
Paint the true image of me
For if friends do see
A portrait of a man as perfect as he can be
They will inquire of me
Who the gentleman on my wall may be
So paint me as I am
Let every detail show
So this painting will be of me
And all my friends will know
I have nothing I am ashamed to let other see
Nothing I am ashamed of about me
