For Rachel
White canvas accepts pigments
Chosen and mixed with loving care
Applied by soft brushes
In layers by turns bold and delicate
Guided by a hand inspired by
A soul embracing her world.
The white canvas remains
As the firmament
Adorned with colors in harmony
First made by the Creator
Applied with a gift granted
To one who is herself a special creator.
Daily she performs the miracle
That transforms white canvas
Into a wondrous vision,
Her vision,
Of the world around her
