I And The Painter Poem by Mac Adrone Adonay

I have a friend, he is a great painter
In his house, a lot of paintings were there
He lives alone peaceful down the valley
Where lovely trees and flowers, you can see
I came to visit him, I travelled so far
Only to see, how great his paintings are
I asked him, 'how did you do that so nice'?
He only smiled and look into my eyes
'Can I have one of your dear works'? I said
He look again at me, he shook his head
He's on the table and asked me to seat
He got some cups and plates and said 'let's eat'.
Then he gladly said 'we'll talk for a while'.
I followed his invitation with smile
While eating, he asked a question to me
'Twas about what I really want to be
I spoke and said, 'I want to like you,
A painter and a lover of arts too'.
He answered to me 'you are a painter'.
Deep inside your heart, you must find it there
I laughed, am I a painter? that's not true!
All were not good, everything that I drew
He said, 'all are born to be painter'.
Why not believe me, I'm not a joker!
I answered, 'what you have said is funny'.
Then he said, 'will you please listen to me? '.
I said, okay, I'll listen to you now
Everyone is a painter? tell me how.
'You are a painter, you paint your life
Inspiration is either joy or strife
You must paint your dreams to reality
Just draw, paint what you feel', he said to me.
You should know, your life is your masterpiece
Your portrait is your dream, paint it with bliss
If you don't know what's it portraying for
You'll see it, meaning is on the color!
I sigh, and look at him, I understand
All are painter, they've dreams to paint by hand
Everyone have own dreams rolling over
Yes, it's true, everyone is a painter!
And on that day, I knew what I will be
I said to myself, 'the painter is me'.
Then I look with smile at the painter's face,
He gave his brush and said, 'paint your good days'.
I thanked him and when the shadows shade the sky
I have to go and I sent my goodbye
And I walked with joy, my doubts fade away
I heard him shouting, 'paint your life TODAY'.
