Imagine there's a baby born,
No sign of special grace,
No talents shown upon that morn,
Just smiles upon his face...
Then years roll by, as years must pass,
Till that child goes to School,
Then by God's grace, becomes first class,
In fact, thought wonderful...
Imagine there's a student who
Transcends what's gone before,
Such that he starts impressing you
Since he can do much more...
When driven to excel again,
He stands out from the crowd,
No longer thought like other men,
Of whom most would be proud...
His paintings framed, then sold online,
His prints bought far and wide,
Then heralded as great design
That warms our hearts inside...
In living rooms, across the land,
This artist proves his worth,
Yet none on Earth could understand
Such wonders at his birth...
Denis Martindale August 2017.
A poem based on the magnificent Stephen Gayford
