Color of My Heart

COLOUR OF MY HEART My heart is like the colors of the rainbow, a spectrum full of every human shade bathed in the varied beauty of an ethnic glow admiring all the differences God made. It sings of sadness deep in midnight blue, and sorrows with the bane of earthly flaws. All of us are joined by a common hue, the care that’s in each other’s eyes we saw. Love can color hearts from green to sunrise with gold that shines for everyone to see. Beneath a coat of precious silver lies a soul that is a dear commodity. My heart is like a rainbow in the sun, Crayola box with shades for everyone. 12/6/18

In "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves," the Moor explains to a child that God's love for a rainbow of colors is the reason He "painted" us in so many hues. Thank you for sharing the "colors of your heart" with us. Beautifully penned! And congratulations on your win in John's contest. Best wishes for happy holidays, Carolyn
