The Sweet Embrace

Original poem written by the artist specifically for this painting -

"Tears rolled down my cheeks...When I saw how life had been trying...All the time...To show me its beauty...In its loving embrace...The miracle of a tree growing through the cracks of a derelict concrete wall...Of the burst of colors and patterns in a simple leaf...The colors of the rainbow glistening on a perfect dew drop...Of a sweet melody in the buzzing of bees...Of a warm greeting in the chirp of a bird...Life showed me how it had been trying...For so long...To show me its sweet embrace"
