this window of my mind
by what light do I see
by what impressions am I moved
by what perceptions am I led
this window of my mind
by what shadows am I reflected
by what doubts am I haunted
by what fears am I consumed
this window of my mind
by what grace am I blessed
by what wisdom am I guided
by what love am I known
this window of my mind
by what destiny am I called
by what purpose am I defined
by what faith am I strengthened
this window of my mind
be there the love of God
be there the gift of children
be there the bounty of nature
this window of my mind
be there gratitude for this gift of life
be there a tomorrow of grace
be there ever the light of PRESENCE.

"be there gratitude for this gift of life" Yes gratitude, always gratitude for the gift that is life.
The painting is so precisely painted it could be a very well taken photograph. The painting masters of old were truly masters of their craft!
Theanne, The art of a great master endures, for the beauty portrayed is of divine creation. This I hold in reverent glory.
Much love,
Rose Marie
