I Paint From This Place

I paint from this place with paints and brushes.

I paint from this place of joy.

I paint from this place of contentment.

I paint from this place of heartbreak.

I paint from this place of planning.

I paint from this place of singing.

I play it from this place of sadness.

I paint from this place in the quiet.

I paint from this place in the crazy sounds of laughter.

I paint from this place as I hear the tinkering of bike parts.

I paint from this place as an old man pushes his walker.

I paint from this place as the sun shines in bright and cheery.

I paint from this place as the clouds hang low adding and casting a shadow of gray.

There is always a place to paint. So I paint from this place where God is leading my heart.
