A Masterpiece In Time
by Daniel Shaw

As we look back in time to the events that have transpired,
We come to realize that what we have to look forward to
Is but a reflection of the ghosts that surround us.

Take into account, that as we live and retell these events
We are in fact painting the canvas of the future.

Blue of a child's eyes, the sky; open and clear.
Amber hair, a wheat field; flowing and free.
rosy cheeks, the sunset; beauty for all to see.
And a smiling white grin, clouds of possibilities.

All of these are the masterpiece that you paint
As you raise a child into a teacher.
Sometimes inspiration comes to us at the strangest times. This poem came about while my brother, Danny and I were Instant Messaging each other one afternoon.  Just for fun, we were competing with each other to see who could be more eloquent with our posts.  One thing led to another and Danny discovered this poem within himself.

I gladly present it here...
