This painting has been done in memory of my late uncle and below is one of his many beautiful poems that he left behind...xx

To be honest
in a way
you are able

To be able
not to say
the things you want

To be softer
on yourself
than on others

To forgive them
for things said
all unaware

To be trusting
to admit
you really care

To be bigger
than the smallest
broken hearts

To be greater
than the sum
of all the parts

To be worthwhile
as a human
at the last.
