Here's the picture I was going to post last week but couldn't. For those of you who know me well, this is a rare occurrence. I don't like having my picture taken, but I realized the most recent one I have of me is from last fall. Hence the rare post of a picture of myself.
I wrote this poem a couple of weeks ago for a poetry contest, and thought I'd share it.
Life's Colors
What color is life?
Let me show you
that through all the strife
you can see the blue
Blue for the sky, blue for the rain
Blue for everything that you gain
Life's color? Yellow
for the parts of being alive
that seem mellow
Making you not strive
as hard as before
until all else walks out the door
Pink is for the joy
in living on this earth
To sit still and enjoy
the wonders of this turf
Yes, life's color is pink
no need to think
What color is for
life's adventures
which are never a bore
in fact they're a quencher
going straight, not in a circle
the color for this is purple
And the color for the things unseen?
The things that whisper
in the wind? Green
Like a gentle and familiar sister
You know it's there
everywhere
There are many more colors of living
that I have no time to list
If you can be forgiving
I will leave you with this
If you can see through the grey
life's rainbow will stay
