On Our Canvas
We paint this picture together
Because we can both see true beauty.
The two of us look beyond the surface,
And we see what most people cannot.
There is a meaning to our artwork,
Because on our canvas
We have created a story.
Together we paint our adventure
Starting with the dull, gray rocks on the beach.
But to us, those seemingly ordinary rocks are
Prettier than the unique design on a snowflake.
That beach is our starting line,
Where our race began.
On our canvas we paint our feelings with colors
Softer than a mink fur coat
And more delicate than porcelain china,
For every color we paint has a reason.
Every moment I spend with you adds to our painting.
Everything we see contains a memory.
Everything around us brings us closer together.
Everything is a scene
And we are in it.
