CRAYON BOX DIVINE DREAMS

My crayon box is filled with dreams’ color Of joyfulness tints and happiness’ hues Brightened by thanksgiving and praises ardor Midst gold of gladness, devoid of sad blues. Oh, there is green, full of life… healthy well From God’s grace, so glowing, no one can hide Along red with pink for compassion-swell With shining yellow of worshipful tide. Yes, courageous orange rules over pain Defying horrors of blackness and fright As brave purple soars with azure faith’s gain Trusting the Lord* toward heavenly white. Glad am I for crayon box dreams indeed Colored by the Almighty’s gracious deed.
*Psalms 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. June 3, 2025 1st place, "The Sonnet on Crayon Box Dreams" Sonnet Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Miranda Hawley; judged on 6/12/2025
