~ODE TO BOB ROSS~
Painting tapestries in awesome colors,
Beautiful mountains and skies of blues,
Such unique and wonderful painter that
He was
Painting was his whole world
And shared it he wanted it, and did it
All with you and me
Loving nature and flowers too,
Nursing little creatures back to
Life,
But especially he loved and cared,
I know he did,
For people just like... me and you,
Motivated everybody how to paint,
With his very rich and soft
Voice,
Always the believer, in his kinded
Heart,
That anyone believing and trying
Could also learn how to paint
And that everything that you create,
It is your own world as you see it and paint
It you can as you perceive it with your heart
And eyes
For me his shinning spirit,
Will always live and move on,
Gracing and warming every single heart
And every home,
Indeed for me he's here to stay,
With his big heartwarming smile and
Endearing passion and inspiration,
To be forever cherished and treasured
And as the majestic sea that he liked
So much to also paint,
His wonderful legacy will live on and
Continue to ever grow,
And as the sands upon warm beaches
Also his wonderful painter's spirit
All over the earth
Will move all the waves
At sea forever and ever
On!

Dorian, I, too, am a Bob Ross fan. I watched his shows over and over (I taped them). Your poem is a loving tribute to a fine man. It is so wonderful that his son is following in his father's footsteps. How sweet that you wrote this nice poem in Bob's memory. Best regards, Helen
What a sweet and deserving tribute to Bob Ross. I loved that guy, he had such a cool voice and was the only white person I ever saw who could get away with having an afro. Nice job, bye bye now.
Dear Dorian, Hi! I like your writing. I enjoy eveything that I read. Nice tribute to Bob. My dad is not a painter, but he always enjoyed watching Bob's program. I like the descriptiveness of the poem. Very good. Thanks! Teresa Jacobs
I really enjoyed this one! I am a fan of his myself! I really loved watching his show, though never painted anything on my own yet. He was one person I would have truely loved to meet! I still watch him on TV, but it was a sad day when he passed on! Such a wonderful person he was! He will be missed!!
Dorian, This one goes straight to my heart. I love watching Bob Ross on TV, all those "happy little trees" he taught everyone to paint. I didn't find out right away that he had passed on, but I was so sad when I heard the news. It upset me that such a kind and encouraging spirit was no longer on this earth, but he lives on in the reruns I still love to watch so much. Thanks for writing and posting this one; it's straight from the heart.
