Life is a picture
People paint for themselves;
To put on display
Or to stick on a shelf
They may hide it from others,
Let it gather some dust,
Or they may show it off proudly,
Accepting praise if they must.
As the picture is formed
With each stroke of the brush,
One can tell if a person
Took it slowly or rushed.
I say to not stress about
Profit or gain
But appreciate life
And enjoy each new day.
Take a walk in the country
Or swim in a lake,
And trust in the Lord
From the moment you awake.
It is He who decides
How long we shall live,
So let's enjoy each new day
As we live it with Him.
