Red Is My Color

The color of my hair,
is reddish blonde,
some people say,
blonds have more fun.

I wouldn't know,
for this is not me,
the red is to obvious,
like my rosy red cheeks.

Everything I wear,
has red somewhere,
maybe the buttons,
or a ribbon placed with care.

I love the sunsets,
with their reddish glow,
I blend right in,
from head to toe.

The flower of my choice,
I guess you know by now,
yes, the red, red roses,
when spring comes around.

When I die,
and I rest in peace,
my silky red pajamas,
will cover me.
