Art Therapy

Embrace it

Art is a therapy,

free and without side effects.

Not many people understand it,

but I sure do.

I have been immersing in it

since I was a kid,

when I didn’t even know

what stress was.

Stress came in waves,

as is the hallmark of life,

but with art with me,

I managed to lower its intensity.

In the turbulent times,

I took refuge in art.

It offered self-expression,

bought me time,

gave perspective,

and made me feel unique.

So I encourage my kids

to embrace art

as early as possible

and till the end.

They do.

My little daughter draws and paints,

and I lovingly paste her work

in a notebook.

Such a joy for me,

and it will be a great gift

for her someday.

Embrace art,

and see the benefits.

    How true you speak. When I was a nurse/activity assistant therapist I did a lot of art therapy meaning coloring, collage, painting and at times if the patients were able crafts were made. I really love to color and really enjoy sharing my colorings.
