A color can hold more than one feeling
It might show sadness or a heart slowly healing
You can be mean and violent like the wild blue waves
yet you can be calm and peaceful and wise like the brave
You can be sad—loving, passionate, and courageous
but you still have the choice to be angry, rough, and dangerous
You can be white—innocent and kind
That doesn’t mean you can’t leave your worries behind
Green can mean hope, luck, and the beginning of a new life
but it can still show envy, greed, and strife
You could see the world through rose colored glasses
and be friendly, playful, and caring
yet have an outburst of emotional flaring
Oh, what a contrast life can be
You can be strong yet gentle,
calm yet fierce, brave yet afraid, loving yet cold…
You can be red, blue, white, green, or gold
If love was a color, what would it be?
You’re free to choose and free to be.
