Notes About The Poem

Paint

Paint

The wall was full of small holes, 
and imperfections. 
There were gouges,
here and there. 
the surface, only an echo...,
of its original beauty. 

The "color" white. 
Not paper, but pure;
like a winter flower. 
Restoring yesterday, 
a privilege!

Sometimes full of memories 
past... and gone. 
Yet the effort, 
the work, 
the labor, 
creating new ones for the now, 
to keep for tomorrow...
and all our future yesterdays. 

A brush, 
a bucket, 
and the smallest drop, 
of truest faith. 
The final result...
a miracle!


Time restored, 
and renewed. 
A visual blessing, 
to the eye, 
and a spiritual lifting 
of the heart.

You are ever so kind. I am painting a very old house, "Dollhouse". It was built in 1942. As I watch, miracles happen before my eyes. Paint... wonderous stuff... Ty for stopping by. Love your poems. Blessings on your day. Ann
