Smooth, calm
strokes of the brush
Letting out emotion by art
Patient and ready
to tackle every problem
with care
He was gentle with the brush
Mesmerized by the beauty he created
Though this one was for pleasure
Not to boast or seem sophisticated
Not to segregate or alienate
But to bring people together
No matter what the color of their skin
Or their religious beliefs
Art is there to comfort us
through joy and grief
There is a place for art in everyone's soul
From sitting at a desk in an office building
To the hot, treacherous mines of coal
Art is there inspiring us
To unify all people
