He did
not
want
anyone
to notice
Any one
So he was very
sneaky
about
it
Pick a rose
here
there
a couple more
Leaned
against a
tree
Made sure no
one
not
a
soul
was
watching
or
in
sight
And
when
he had
a
good
group
put them
together
without
telling
anyone
else
Then
got
cleaned
up
Put
on
his
favorite
shirt
and
walked
over
to
her
house
Knocked
on the
door
and
said
“These are
for
your
mom!”
His
friend
who
he
liked
so
much
had
told
him
“My mom
is
real
sick…”
The
young
girl
in the
house
cried
when
she
saw
the flowers
Her dad
wiped
tears
from
his
eyes
“Come in
come
in
it’s ok!”
He went
with the
dad
and
his
friend
to the room
“Is she
sleeping?”
When he
got
home
he
asked his
mom
“How come we die?”
His mom
said
“What now?
Why
do
we
die?
That’s quite a question…
Well,
we don’t, dear,
we
go
to
heaven,
and
we will
all be there
one day.”
He laid
in his
bed
that night
before
he went
to sleep
and
tried
to imagine
what heaven
looked
like
Years later
many
many
years later
he started
painting
He has
been
painting now
for
nearly nine
months
People stop by
and
marvel
at
the huge
painting
that covers
17 walls
so far
Some point
at
the parts
they
like
the best
Others
leave
him money
in
the hat
he puts
in
front
