Frida Kahlo's message: Keep going!

Polio age 6 

And a bus accident, age 18,  

Why not spend 10 months in bed gazing at yourself in a mirror

That your Mother hung over head, nothing else to see

Why not paint yourself, there's nothing else to see

In Hospital ABC, 

Why not marry someone who is always chasing other skirts,

Another artist, 20 years your senior,

Keep going, keep going, decorate your corset

And paint your shoe that lengthens your right leg

Shortened by polio

Why not paint a watermelon with seeds from your wheelchair

To tell us all to accept the seeds in the sweet fruit of life

Because it's all we have, 

Live every day.  

She did. 

Be my teacher, Frida Kahlo.
