Purple

The color of purple the many run off’s of blue
 Purple and red skies a view with a passionate hue

Lilac’s, violet’s lavender’s, in blossom
Spring kisses and sweet scents how assume 

A deep purple Amethyst stone of February 
A color as old as history 

Treasured by Kings and Queens as the color of royalty
Purple the color with feeling and personality 
 
A tincture between red and blue
Below a field of purple flower’s that blew

Smile~And I bet that "You" look very wonderful in purple too! "Hello Precious & Gifted Laura Mckenzie!"~There seems to possibly be much to ponder within this colorful write here dear lady!? For instance, the month of febuary~were you born in this month? I love your usage of flowers, royalties, etc ~it makes it all somewhat majestical! I hope you are having a glorious day dear! "Love & Warmth Always To You, John!"~"Lovely Write!":)
