Colors

In the beginning When God made man He gave us the sea He gave us the land He gave us black When He gave us night He gave the colors of day With the color white He gave us the air And things unseen He gave us the trees With their leaves of green And, everything He gave us Turned out to be new He gave us the sky With the color blue He gave things that were spoken And things that were unsaid He gave us the beautiful sunset With many shades of red He gave the color orange And He gave us yellow too Then He gave us violet Which came from red and blue He put them in a rainbow For all of us to see To remind us of His glory May He set our spirits free.

I'm going to force her tomorrow; -) Mark my words. I have to show up at my aunt Melba's house, a few members could not make a trip up her. I'm going out of my way into not making a sour 2014. Hugs my friend................. SKAT
