True Blue

It’s my favorite color and I reckon it’s true It goes very well with all I’ve been through For I have embraced the bluest of days Brought upon myself by the darkest of ways They say that my eyes are as blue as the sky Especially when their tired from the tears that I cry When I first glanced at Lake Tahoe for heavens sake I thought, “Nothing on Earth is as blue as this Lake” Blue as the sky or so it would seem I found sobriety and answered a dream I remember I cried the day that I heard the news No longer would Stevie Ray be playing the blues Blue is a color but know it’s also an emotion When I was in Hawaii it was the color of the Ocean See, blue is more than a color it’s part of our soul For folks at the fair it’s their number one goal Sweetheart even this love that I hold for you Can best be described by the words “True Blue”. Inspired by the COLOR contest and of course it was penned for my wife.

Guess I'll have to check out the Color contest ... although this is the winner!! I lost a friend of 12 years who chose to drink again and so I'm feeling rather blue myself ... smile ... maybe they'll get back but anyway ... Glad you're here, Michael ... your writing just keeps getting better and better ... Here's to a great '09!!

I'm loving all these color poems! Michael, really enjoyed this as you stuck to one color and it's many meanings and symbols, and ended on the sweetest one of all. Written so true - True Blue is a all a lovely reflection of you. Good luck! Happy new year! (again!) Love, Shar
