We Are Different

He draws and paints cartoons for fun I draw and paint cartoons too, but I do not sell mine He urges me to sell them I did once upon a time I cried when they left me I have a stack of four hundred paintings now That proves I am not kidding. His cartoons sell for hundreds of dollars. This amazes me and amuses me. I am glad for him, but still cannot release my babies. They came from my mind. They are my creations. I will continue to stack them Until my last day Possibly proving I am not entirely sane either.

Think of all the time and effort you put into those wonderful, whimsical paintings, Caren. I can't imagine letting them go, and yet I'm glad you did with a certain one because I have enjoyed it every day since!

I can relate, Caren! I’m sure I couldn’t let them go, either…
