Letting Me Paint

you told me

several times

how thankful you are

that i have shown you

how beautiful

and promising life

will be in the next

years to come

and i am definitely

happy

with that...

in my mind

and in my heart

i am greatly

thankful

that you are helping

me paint my future

by letting me

choose the colors

and allowing me

to pick

how thick

the brushes

would be...

i love you!..
