'Life is still a blank canvas', he said.
So she told him to paint a house.
All fenced up,
And to color the grass extra green.
(So that temptation wouldn't court him)
'Why that picture?', he asked.
She replied, *'Because no matter where you go,
Your roots should always bring you home.'
'Because even if the sky is the limit,
And you reach it, the greenest grass
Even from way up above,
will always be your beacon.'
'Because change should be a shade vibrant,
Only then change could mean growth.'
'Because that home you build,
Will be your resting place.
After you've conquered your dreams--
It'll be your place of ease.'
'And', she said, 'because marks and goals
are set first,
the course decided later.
Lastly, *because those pictured endings,
are the best place to begin.'
For a fresh start...
