Analysis of Paintbrush
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
The beauty of life
Is that it is constantly evolving,
And we are never
Bound to any particular course.
Whether we choose
To take risks,
Explore new opportunities,
Or change direction completely,
We have the opportunity
To create the life we want.
Our lives
Are a canvas,
And we hold the paintbrush.
Every stroke
Is a reflection
Of the choices we make,
The actions we take,
And the goals we set for ourselves.
