Parents of a Struggling Artist

I know he has the soul of an artist..

Because he doesn’t see what is,

instead he sees what could possibly be.

He doesn’t have boundaries

he creates his own lines.

1 side of a page – only

nothing on the back

any imperfections sent straight to the trash..

His medium is everything,

markers, pens, paints, glue, glitter, wood, rock, thread, string, tape-

napkins, paper towels, paper – but just on one side.

He is meticulous in his design.

If only he applied his art to other aspects of his life,

like brushing his teeth or making his bed.

Welcome to the life of parents with a struggling artist I guess.

I only hope to do nothing to alter his course,

to help him keep the innocence that anything is possible.
