Baby Soft

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 red 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 try 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

Absolutely beautiful Poetry! I noticed when I was mad or very sad colors fade into shades of gray. So I would force myself to see the colors. God is so good. His light and colors amazing. Corrie Ten Boom found one flower in her colorless world. She hid it from the Nazi guard and it gave her hope. Stay always Happy Jack!

So touching so sad a tale dear Kim! But still holding out help till the colours returned! It just proves, in spite of all the negativity the light still comes through the tiniest crack! Love, dearest Kim XOXOX

I used to be the limerick king shortly after I first joined up! That was about ten or eleven years ago! WOW!
