The Art of Living

Some have a hard time in drawing
From the experience that life has given
Always in need of help whether bold or pastel
In interpreting the art of living

Being a sign of the times in grand design
Trying to hang the picture perfect life
As they're craving their niche or taking brush strokes to it
A happy medium they have yet to find

Not patient enough most just give up
At the opening of their life's museum
With empty frame that bares only a name 
In interpreting the art of living

Very true Mike. People do tend to give up too early. I could write a paragraph on my opinions but you have said enough. Well done!

So true, Mike! Well written. I can also relate to this, being a painter. Thanks for sharing :)
