Portrait

I've seen all kinds of pictures
Most of the beauties of the world
From places I've traveled I still recall
This quaint melody as I thrill

Painting my own pictures in tones
I've painted old Mother Earth
Bold flowers that brave the warm
Tones color the life she's born

I've tried to paint her beauties
From radiant skies to deep blue seas
The sky as she changes her glamour
Dawn's pale blue, sunset's amber

The winds and the rains
The lull on the plains
Leaves on the ground
Mountains gray-brown
Tipped with a dash of blowing white snow

The winds and the rains
The lull on the plains
Oh, leaves on the ground
Mountains gray-brown
Tipped with a dash of blowing white snow
