Original painting - 31 × 37” acrylic on canvas (framed)
This piece was inspired by a friend of the family’s daughter who loved to wear dance costumes whenever possible. The freedom and joy she expressed, the wonderment of youth … this took me back. While painting this, I started thinking of simpler times, of happy times. This painting inspired this poem. I hope you like it.
If only… I could go back in time,
To that moment, the day we met,
That smile in your eyes,
The day you made my heart dance.
If only… I could spend more time
Dancing in your arms, dreaming big dreams,
Reaching for the sky,
In the sunshine and the flowers.
If only … We could all take the time
And live in these moments that truly matter,
With the ones we love,
What a perfect day that would be.
