An artist’s toolbox
That is what you are
Full of wonder and possibility
inspiration is the star
Yellow chalk and dusty fingerprints
Mistakes up in the air
Your forgiving nature carries us
A reminder that you really care
Red plastic scissors
Snowflakes, garlands and even more
You help to shape our world
Encouraging us to explore
Blue pencil, warm in my hand
Tells a story full of wonder
Authenticity carries every line
Your kindness makes us stronger
Violet beads scattered upon the table
Stringing them one by one
Persistence is the key, you said
Quality work, not easily undone
Orange clay in my outstretched palm
Ready to mold my dreams
You help us find belief and compassion
Building up our self-esteems
Indigo paper flat on the desk
Every fold brings something more
We are not 2 dimensional, you say
Uplifting us to watch us soar
Green paint playing on my fingertips
A whole new world to discover
Pour your heart out on the canvas
Your loving nature is like to other
The lives you’ve touched
With all the beautiful arts
We will always remember you
A collage of smiling hearts
