Painted

 

I Painted a picture;   A picture of you

 

Your eyes were the color of Compassion,

 

Your lips were the shape of a Dove's Wing in flight as you open wide your mouth to spread kind words that comforted hearts.  Even when your own heart seem to be troubled as well.

 

I painted your hair a color so soft,  for it reflected your heart;  Which Reflects that of Christ.

 

So I painted a picture of you,  and you looked just like your Father.

 

For God is Love,  and you are Loved by many, By me.

 

Yes,  I painted a picture of you,  But if only in my mind.

 

For wonderful warm thoughts are sent your way,  and prayers from my heart are sent from me to your Father.

 

You are his child and Yes,  you look just like Him.

 

I should know,  I painted a picture of you

 

If only in my mind
