Color is an integral part of my life, essential in
physical descriptions, a blessing to language. 
Colors are perfect subjects for character sketches.

For one perusing the color wheel, it's easy to 
choose green, a color of such versatility and 
profound meaning.

Symbol of nature and youth, signifying hope for
eternal life and respect for the environment,
green nestles happily in the spectrum between 
bright companions blue and yellow.

The verdure of spring adorns the plants that sustain 
our bodies, delight our eyes, and lift our spirits.

Lovely evergreens grace our forests, yards, and even
our homes, decorated and surrounded by long-awaited 
gifts and jubilant families celebrating the season.

These wholesome traits and so many more surely outweigh 
the greenness of occasional jealousy or inexperience.
