the artist in us all  In these days, when we are swamped With high technology Overwhelming senses Not allowing us to see The many aspects of our art That surely have to be The very fabric that comprise Our lives' rich tapestry.  We can all recall, the favourite songs That lift our spirits high Or the stories, from some author's pen Causing us to cry The poignant lines of poetry That evoke an inner sigh And the great works of the Masters That are treasures for the eye.	2.  With such a wealth of culture I'm told ... sadly by some A sorry tale, a lame lament What else! .. is there come? The deception, is of course to think - In the past ... its all been done - Within the boundaries of your mind This journey's just begun.  When daily routine can dictate How life quickly passes by - Perhaps you should participate - Do you know the reason why? Well! There's an artist in us all And for those of you who try Will often find fulfillment And sometimes touch the sky.  If at first, you don't succeed There's no need to be depressed It may take time to find With which talent, you've been blessed But if one man's creativity Should ever be suppressed The risk is that he could become A clone - of all the rest.	3.  Challenge life .... be in it! Don't be afraid to speak For it really doesn't matter If your expressions are oblique. You'll surely find in whatever kind Of company you might seek That every single one of us Is in some special way, unique!  There's a certain satisfaction - Some, may even call it fun To 'Paint your wagon', for the world Shining proudly in the sun And then to exit from the stage When our dance on earth has run - To have left a footprint in the sand And to know the race was won.                                                Rodd Sherwin   ©       RETURN TO SONG LIST
