Julie Cottingham Poet I do not know?

Painting By Numbers

I have some crayons to colour my world,

Blue for a boy and pink for a girl,

Green for the grass

  Grey for the sky,

Red for the father who made me cry,

Yellow for fear,

  Purple for hate,

 Black for the help that came too late!

Vince Suzadail Jr. November 7, 2008 at 1:11 PM Sad sad sad! Se careful. Hate is an acid that destroys the vessel that holds it. I work with abused kids with horror stories. Once they begin to believe in themselves it gets better. Sometimes I vent when I'm alone as they don't need to see the anger anymore. God Bless. Vince
