Growing in Gray or Green

Sharpen your mind like you sharpen a pencil
Embrace the point as well as your dimples 
Be inspired to grow despite being green or gray 
Desire dear soul to be clear clean in white faith

Give your ears that you may hear blue truth
Fight your fears avoid gossip the talk of fools
Open your heart to love and all you can be
Walk with God despite dilemma follow His lead
