Blank Canvas


Life is like art
God gave us a blank canvas
and he gave some folks a bigger canvas
than others
or gave you a large canvas with fewer paints to work with
Now that you have this in front of you
what do you do?
what can you paint?
are you skilled enough to paint the picture in your head?
Even if you felt like you weren't talented enough to
Would you still try?
if you had fewer colors, would u mix your colors to make more
Or stick to the basics just to have a painting
If you had a small canvas, can your painting make it seem large?
In the end life is what you make it to be, just like a blank canvas
Question is when you are done, will it still be a Canvas?
Or a masterpiece?
