A BOX OF CRAYONS
In a box of crayons there are colours of every kind
In the big selection many shades that blow the mind,
Each one needed to make a picture for all of us to see,
Just like people are different and interesting as can be.
Can you imagine a box of crayons coloured all the same,
To create a picture impossible, one worthy to frame,
We need a mixed box of yellows, blues, reds and green,
Plus many other shades, to capture things by us seen.
Just imagine a nature scene that you want to draw,
See all the colours that we all like and many more
To enhance each other in an exceptional way,
Just like different human being we meet every day.
No two people are alike and that is how it should be,
We should all blend together in love and harmony,
Live side by side well, just like the crayons we need
To draw a picture, so in life live kindly to truly succeed.
