I made her out of my own hands
Juxtaposed her posture
Choreographed her composition
Her gesture, intentional
Lighting, drapery and skin
I formed her in black and white
And when she was ready I added color
I poured my emotions into her
That she may speak for many others and me
And when she was ready to go
The right man came along
He paid the price
And he took her home
And I felt nothing but contentment
I am the third creator
God hath endowed my hands
Blessed my heart
And garnished my mind
I have applied mimesis
And I have replicated his creation unto canvas
That she may be admired by the eyes that see her
Adored by whom she will be owned
And he shall make her his trophy
