How do I paint happy? <br />How do I paint sad? <br />How do I paint angry, <br />when someone makes me mad? <br /> <br />How do I paint feelings? <br />They're not somethin' that you see. <br />And yet, they're so important <br />in my pictures about me. <br /> <br />Today I thought about it. <br />I think what I will do - <br />is paint what feelings stand for. <br />It's easy I think, too. <br /> <br />When I'm feelin' happy, <br />I'll paint the sky bright blue. <br />If sad is what I'm feeling, <br />then the tears I'll paint are, too. <br /> <br />If what I feel is angry, <br />I'll paint my mouth a great big 'O', <br />'cause Mommy says 'bout angry, <br />'Get it out, then let it go.'<br /><br />C.J.
