" The Artist "                      by Vanessa Barton
 

Some say you are an artist
because of the way you speak         

The way you draw your words together
can make the strong seem weak

Some say you are an artist                                                  
because of the way you draw
           

You can make a picture tell a story
that could leave us all in awe....

Some call you an artist
the way you draw others near

You are my true inspiration
I would like to make that clear

Some say you are an artist
I don't say that in the least

because while everyone else sees artist
I see a masterpiece.
