Learning
something new today
Thank you
for inviting
prodding
just a little
to get me started
to whet my appetite
that perhaps
I could
create something
beautiful
with my hands
with the help of
paint and canvas
paper and scissors
You could have
kept your talents hidden
or only allowed
the professionals
to join the fun
instead you threw the doors
open and
invited us all in
to join
the joy
of creating something
beautiful
I think
there are many
budding artists, singers
musicians, writers
etc.
out there that only
need the nudge of
encouragement
and invitation
to get started
on opening up
new streams
of joy in
their lives.
