Life of Colors
I've often wondered
how it would be,
if I described my life in colors
what shades would I see?

White for my childhood,
sweet years of youth
were pure and good.
Red for the teenage years.
Hot, rebellious,
full of puppy love and tears.

Yellow for sunny days
on the beach,
sifting through shells
white and peach.
Walks on the beach at night,
black, yet bright,
with twinkling stars
and a lovers moonlight.

Pink for the day I met you,
not red, yet definately not blue.
Rosy pink for days spent together,
I closed my eyes
to the stormy weather.

Gold for the day we married,
not realizing then
that gold can be so cold.
White glitter for my children,
sweetness, my heart bursting
with love from within.

My marriage to you
all beige and gray,
as day by day
the gold peeled away.
Dark gray for the day
we finally parted,
leaving me alone
so downhearted.

Now skies are blue again,
filled with warm sunny light.
I can't wait to see
what tomorrow brings.
I see my garden full
of green and growing things.

I now look forward
to each new day
and my life is growing
in so many ways.
There's a rainbow of colors
still waiting for me,
with many wonders
I've yet to see.
