Paint

Every morning I wake up

And look outside and see

The new paint still wet

Even though it's not just for me

I imagine you know

In fall I like my trees red

And flowers bending over

To stand on their head

When you make a mistake

Which is next to never

They merely say

It's a rainbow in the sky

I see the grass and flowers

Still wet with your paint

They are made new again

Wet with gleaming dew

You never paint our house

You've been told to stay away

I truly do not care

They would disregard it

Like things to be thrown away

I've watched you for so long

Waiting for the colors to stop

Stop reappearing in the morning

But in my heart I know

This pattern will never stop

In the spring you paint flowers

Summer a blazing sun

Orange and red for autumn

And in winter you paint the ground in frost

On Easter you paint the eggs

And on Christmas the snow

I will always know

You are watching me
