Yellow

Yellow represents happiness and fun--
yellow brightens your day with the sun.

Yellow can reverse a sad day’s melody,
yellow can zap away your melancholy.

Yellow ribbons hope for a warrior’s return,
yellow heat from the fire where it burns.

Yellow roses for friendship and new beginnings,
yellow music from canaries singing.

Yellow--the sour taste of lemon in my mouth,
yellow--a sweet taste of peach from the South.

Yellow butter slides across my toast,
yellow champagne bubbles tickle my nose.

Yellow diamonds brighten the night sky,
yellow moonbeams wish you goodnight.
