Portrait

Tell me how your portrait

Among the finest works of art

Is suitable for framing

*

They say the portrait cannot be saved

Family would not be without children

Preserving the innocent frame

*

I would give anything to gaze upon you

Softened and humbled

Resigned to the will of God

*

The combination would bring

Poor restless souls to find

Lost hearts among abandoned lives

*

Any other kind of warning would

Want you drowning in mistakes and despair

Lying at the point of death
