Whiteness

Whiteness is for beauty, White symbolizes a bride
Whiteness is for serenity, White can reflect your pride

White is also worn for funerals, White stands for peace
To bid goodbye some use white, to say Rest In Peace

Whiteness can be pale, It may portray a vampire
Whiteness can be pure, It may also describe a ghostly attire!

A person having whiteness, may turn out to be weak
But at the same time, his/her innocence is at its peak…

***in countries like India, white is worn for funerals... though in most parts of the world, black is used
