Theme : I am my own artist

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 : 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲–𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆

Holding a brush I paint my journey,
As an artist using colors that destiny throws,
Life is indeed a beautiful tapestry.

I weave Infinite moments motley,
Balancing both joys and sorrows,
Holding a brush I paint my journey,

Gaining insights from experiences medley,
I sail through all the highs and lows,
Life is indeed a beautiful tapestry.

Despite the falls I learn to rise slowly,
Mindfully following the river’s course,
Holding a brush I paint my journey.

Having faith in the supreme lord mighty,
I look for brightness despite the haunting shadows,
Life is indeed a beautiful tapestry.

I am my own masterpiece undoubtedly,
Thanking the universe for all that it bestows,
Holding a brush I paint my journey.
Life is indeed a beautiful tapestry.
