The Stephen Gayford Art Gallery Poem by Denis Martindale

There came a time when hearts were stirred
Towards a gallery,
With one great artist they preferred
And all he brought to be...
Remembering how long he stood
As he would paint away,
To do the very best he could
Day after day after day...

Collectors gathered, deep in thought,
Compared each frame at hand,
Reflected on the prints they'd bought,
The ones they saw as grand...
And thus the final choices came
From hundreds that were sold,
That proudly bore the artist's name
On silver frames and gold...

And so the public came to view
And marvel at them all,
Each one pristine, presented new,
Each one a miracle...
Then buyers searched the Internet
To find his art as well,
Since beauty that's hard to forget
Is always bound to sell...
