Masterpiece

A young artist learning how to paint With hopes of becoming someone great Lessons every day always taught the same Simple task no questions asked just paint away The paintings that are made talent he does show But one thing he would like to know Pictures that he draws something still seems bare Can't explain don't know why what's missing here The beauty of a masterpiece Not the paint or brush but the thought that's underneath Let's paint our lives with machshavos To bring us close to Hashem and His mitzvos One day a book of pictures he receives Famous artist and what they've achieved One painting stands out catches his eye To paint like that is the goal I will try Art show arriving to his town With his favorite artist as the star Walking through displays a face he does see Runs to him this is the man he must meet The beauty of a masterpiece Not the paint or brush but the thought that's underneath Let's paint our lives with machshavos To bring us close to Hashem and His mitzvos Tell me one thing the young boy does request What's the secret to your success The artist replies what should be on your mind To paint with heart is all you need for you to shine Each of us is that boy the motions that we do Thoughts behind our acts make us anew Take the extra step machshava's all that's left V'taher Li'beinu B'emes The beauty of a masterpiece Not the paint or brush but the thought that's underneath Let's paint our lives with machshavos To bring us close to Hashem and His mitzvos
