Framous! Poem by Denis Martindale

Imagine born some time ago,
To grow, then go to School,
To learn all things you're meant to know
And thinking life's so cool...
Then leaving School, to learn skills well,
Such that great art gets known,
Such that you've got a tale to tell,
Your artworks meant to own...

Then paintings come as good as gold,
Respected far and wide,
So fame itself can then take hold
And fill your heart with pride...
Yet wisdom calms that spirit, too,
Humility brings peace,
God's grace then comes in all you do,
God's wonders never cease...

So famous though you truly are,
Your paintings are the key,
Though you still prove the rising star
Till all that you can be...
The legacy you leave behind
Transcends both time and space,
Because God blessed your heart and mind
With talents... skills... and grace...
