Colors of Life
Colors of youth
So vibrant and true.
Fresh and bright
Never giving a clue
Colors of yesterdays
Shades lighter and dim
Chances of brightening
Are all running slim
Colors of memories
Fading softly each day
No longer sharp
Black into gray
Colors of Joy
Lost in time and space
Forgotten in the corners
Of another place
Colors of Happiness
Broken in pieces
Stripped from Life
Leaving only creases
Colors of Love
Chipped and peeling
Fallen off the canvas
Alone and unfeeling
Colors of today...
Simply gone away.
Colors of tomorrow?
Simply another day
It's Life's Colors
What more can I say?
