Colours
I've pondered this since I was a child
What makes the grass so green
I know there's a logical explanation
Sure seems like some magical scheme
To explain why oceans are a deep indigo
Or the cerulean blue sky up above
The rising sun is a bright yellow ball
Why magenta is the colour of love
Pink is associated with a baby's skin
As we cuddle and snuggle and coo
Mauve is usually the colour of sadness
When life throws a curve at you
The colour of nature is a wonder to behold
Artists have tried to capture its magic
What if the world was just shades of grey
Sure would be sad and quite tragic
So pray when you wake up each morning
Nature's colours will still be the same
It's what makes this world a joy to behold
And its beauty continues to reign
