The Artist Of My Life

Inspired bt Kristine Anne Shaw's Poem "A page Is Turned,Another Morning

 

 

Everyday I wake up

I see a blank canvas

Before me.

God has given me a brush

shaped like my heart.

 

Though his art work

Is all around me

He has left room

For me to

Paint a picture

Anyway I want.

 

Every stroke

Is my choice,

 

Every color

Is my outlook.

 

God has painted

His masterpeice

And gave me the tools

To create mine.

For I am the artist

Of my life.

The best part of your message is that you pass no judgment. Lots of writers would have to say something about the responsibility that comes with freedom of choice. But to me, that's an obvious part of freedom & I love how you deliver this as "blessings beget blessings"! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Neglected to mention -- this is one of your best!

Those were words I really needed to hear. I’m thinking about making some big changes within the next year

Lovely ... I think the muses were whispering something rather similar in our ears in way of metaphor and message. Loved you very personal take on this.

Here is mine if you got the time to check it out.

It's so true! We are the writer as well as the painter of our lives. Try any colour and draw anything... Ultimately you are the creator... So nothing to blame.. At any point we can add more colour to it to make our life picture perfect

Thank you for reading and commenting

Free will, free will, we still have choices...our art is what and how we make it...no one is controlling our pen but we.

This is lovely Dale. Thank you so much for the mention. I feel humbled to have inspired you to write this poem. Each new day is a blessing. When things don't go to plan, we know we can have a fresh start the next day. You are indeed the artist of your life.
