Red

Red is the color of Robin's red breast
          in Spring when it's building its nest.

Red is the color of sun when it sets,
           beyond the vast sea in the west.

Red is the color of stop when you see it,
          but I will not slow, not even a bit.
          
Red is the color of fire
          when igniting a heart with desire.

Red is the color of hearts beating fast
          with love, hoping and praying it lasts.
