Ode to Expressions
On Its Tenth Anniversary
l.m.b. laframboise
You make me want to be a writer
Expressing what I feel in thoughts and words
Not afraid to share, for trust is in the air
You open up and show me that you care
That you’re there
That you care
You make me want to be a painter
Dabbling in the colours of the world
Seeking lights and darks,
sharing what’s in my heart
You open up to show me that you’re there
That you care
And you’re there
How fortunate we are to live in a country
Where Expressions can be shared
without fear
No matter how humble or small,
may it go on and on
You’ve opened up and shown us
there’s a place
Creative space
A place to breathe
You make me want to be an artist
Feeling like Picasso or Van Gogh
You’ve taught me not to hide,
to trust what is inside
You’ve opened up and shown me
there’s a place
Creative space…
A place for me...and you
