my birthstone is an amethyst purple
born in February my flower is violet
           and my aura glows in hues of purple
and I just cannot resist purple stuff . . .
this color speaks to my soul and spirit
      I feel it wrap me like a warm blanket
oh, purple is me, I painted my walls purple
I wear purple clothes, have purple earrings
    it makes me feel good and brings me joy
all my curtains are you guessed it-  purple !

Just delightful, Constance! Amethysts are so beautiful. They are symbols of dreams, visions and protection. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings of amethyst joy to you!
