A Picture of Life

I'm going to paint for you today
mountains tall and grass of green
fluffy white clouds and sky that never ends
lake water so clear you think it's glass

I'm going to paint for you today
little birdies pecking seeds from the ground
squirrels upside down on the bird feeder
flowers of yellow and red blooming

I'm going to paint for you today
rocking chairs of white on a gray front porch
crisp white bed sheets hanging on a clothesline
brown, red, yellow and orange leaves falling

I'm going to paint for you today
an open window where a warm apple pie sits cooling
curly blonde curls upon a childs head flowing
while she swings from a tire swing

I'm going to paint for you today
life in small town USA
