Life's Hues

Life is like a Rainbow Filled with colors somber and bright All shades of grief and passion Linger and twinkle in its light The colors are varied in hue Mixture of passion and pain on the palette Each color the picture adorns By a smile or a tear it was born The primary colors are three That God gives to you and to me To mix and to temper What the canvas will capture and remember One loads the black, fills life with grey One whips out the white, washing grey away One spills on red, with angry heart and head One wipes it with yellow, making the board glow The colors we are given We can’t change till we are in heaven But we do make the hues By the mix we daily choose Fill life with Rainbow colors To shine bright for you and others When the colors are done and over What the canvas holds will glow forever.
