Painting the World in Two Coats

Personal Growth, Relationships / January 13, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Right hand brush in the left hand pail what an SOB was he Widows and orphans browns greys and blacks wherever he went their tracks Left hand brush in the right hand pail angel of mercy for all to see Brightness and light sparkles and sprinkles never again such a hero we’ ll see petals in his steps and towers
