Love Is The Canvas We Painted On
Poem

Life together began,
a canvas blank
With tentative hands,
we painted blue skies
and sunshine
There was joy in our strokes
Soon mountains appeared,
daunting to climb
Tears smudged the image
Disagreements blemished our art
The work was hard and uneven
Painting together is no simple feat
We persisted
Our skill grew
We began working in unison,
a singular purpose,
two artists becoming one
The painting became more focused,
more detailed
We painted life,
images we would leave behind
A painting our children would hang in their thoughts
We painted memories
We painted us
We painted love
