    They say a picture is worth a thousand words,
    Yet I believe it is more than that.

    A picture captures a state of mind,
    Each stroke of the brush is a statement of the soul.

    Sparking to life the emotions of the viewer,
    It represents the essence of hope and joy.

    The scintillating colors enthralls the mind,
    The cascade of images frees the heart.

    Though this painting may not have been my own creation,
    Know that it is just a whisper of the immeasurable familial love surrounding you.

    The brush may not be my calling,
    But the power of words can captivate.

    One thousand words to describe a picture,
    One thousand words to describe a torrent of emotion.

    One thousand words to describe how much I care,
    One thousand words to describe the thanks I have for you.

    One thousand words is but a mere summary,
    One thousand words is a paraphrase.

    One thousand words isn’t enough,
    One thousand words can’t compare.

    One thousand words just to say,
    {:::Happy Birthday!:::}
