Josette Key Poet Rhyme

Shades of Blue

There was a little boy
With cornflower eyes
Who sat on a step
And silently cried.

There was no one to play with
There was no one to care
There was no one to stroke
His golden blond hair.

Many years passed
And the little boy grew
Until he met a girl
With eyes of sapphire blue.

'Where were you when I was small?
Asked the man with cornflower eyes.
'Where were you when I sat on that step
And cried and cried?'

The beautiful girl with sapphire eyes
Looked at the young man and sweetly smiled.
She stroked his hair and kissed his lips.
'While you sat on that step and silently cried
I lived deep in your heart, but now I'm here for a while.'

So the young man with cornflower eyes
And the beautiful girl with eyes of sapphire blue
Were happy at last in their love strong and true.
