Painter in Love
©2014 Barbara Tlachac Webber
Born May 2, 2014
She looks in the mirror each morning
And wonders when time wore her down
The lines on her face are telling
On worries she carries around
But he sees the laughter, he sees the grace
The girl he loves will never age
And he paints her in colors of love
He’s a painter in love
The crease in her brow deepens
When she worries the bills late at night
An umber mark between the eyes
A sign that she‘ll make it all right
He sees commitment, he sees heart
With palette and brush and tools of his art
he paints her in colors of love
He’s a painter in love
A look in the mirror starts her day
But love on the canvas leads the way
To believe what the artist eye beholds
Her masterpiece unfolds
She lifts her head to see him watching
A smile blooms rose on her face
To bracket her mouth and crinkle her eyes
In an easy familiar gaze
He sees the girl from so long ago
He captures her glow in this one man show
And he paints her in colors of love
He’s a painter in love
