If I could paint a perfect picture

If I could paint a perfect picture
I would paint it of you
Put all my love and energy
Show the world the light
We know to be true
A picture paints a thousand words
But mine paints so much more
You are my eternal blessing
You are everything I adore
In life, we get so much joy
It makes up for the sadness
It makes up for the heartache
When we are blessed with gladness
If I could make a perfect life
I would create it with you
Put all my love and energy
Show our souls everlasting love
We will share in the Universe
A picture paints a thousand words
But mine paints so much more
You are my eternal blessing
You are everything I adore
In life, we get so much joy
It makes up for the sadness
It makes up for the heartache
When we are blessed with gladness

When you take a picture of something, it doesn’t cease to exist.
It becomes a part of the history of the universe.
Now that one, specific moment in time will never be missed.
It can show the world either at its best or at its worst.
A picture paints a thousand words
A mighty sword
A shield to match
Upon this day
Reward ; a velvet bag of golden whey
On next she vallently rode
With bow and arrow
And might she strode
With nerve of steel and poise she stood
Her armour shone for all to see
She shot her arrow on bended knee
Direct and quick it flew with speed
With heart and soul upon the deed .
A picture paints a thousand words
What does your mirror say?
Victim
No control over life
Good things only happen to others
Victor
Achieve the impossible
Steel forged in fire
Your world is so full of anger and hate
You take your bad life out on everyone
Changing only the people and places
The pattern repeated over and over
Always in a fire and still not forged
Your useless dull blade
A picture paints a thousand words
Your mirror is speaking
But the words fall on deaf ears
Borrow my mirror and see
It says the same words as yours
Because it reflects a thousand words for you
But you only need to hear one
8/24/17
In and out the neighborhood
For the greater good
Across the land
Had
To accelerate
And elevate
Occasionally taking time to celebrate
To my own suprise
Certain things turned out to be a blessing in disguise
Powered by panels that are solar
Through the eye of the beholder
Couldn't keep a chip on my shoulder
While getting older
Not going to be the one getting rolled over
While moving boulders
Don't get me started
Something that should be regarded
A fool and his money are easily parted
Near and far from areas still uncharted
A picture paints a thousand words
Or so I've heard
And observed
They say a picture paints a thousand words------
that my love.---- that is just untrue--
there are not enough - words to - de-scribe you ---
the wonder ---- the very wonder of you
Standing in ------ the revealing moonlight
with the raindrops falling down.---- sparkling- like fairy lights.
There are- no pictures to explain ------what ------I see tonight-------
The waters of the falls - music to my ears------
But can never - enchant me -- Like the falling - of your tears- as you my love- my only one --- the other half -- the other ------ the other half of me
Eyes that piece into my very soul
The love flame that burns there
Your love -------- makes me feel whole--------
They say a picture - paints a thousand words ------but my love -------that picture is you.

As cold winds blew that stormy night
The dog kept howling at the moon
But the two kittens played with delight
They never went to sleep so soon
Snowflakes pirouetted with delicate grace
As we kept warm by the fireplace
When I glanced over by the rocking chair
I beheld the most beautiful sight, I do declare
Two kittens snuggled up next to their mom
As they rested from their play
With their mother's legs around them
In purrfect peace they lay
And as they blissfully slept
In their little heads sweet dreams crept
In love's embrace so warm they were kept
There are a thousand words a picture paints
Some of beauty and some quite quaint
But even angels smile in heaven above
When a picture paints a thousand words of love
I say I say I say
Said the horse with the long face
The Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman looked on.
Knock knock said the dwarf
In a jovial tone
Put his fez on
And then he was gone.
What's black,white and red? the nun said
As a trumpet grew in her yard
She rooted it oot without a sound
And didn't let down her guard.
If a picture paints a thousand words
Then Dali said it well
The world is other than it seems
Let's leave at the last bell.
