A Colorful Life

by Barry Penfold

We go white with shock or anger
Red~with embarrassment
Go green~because we are envious
Black looks! when we resent

When we are well~ we are in the pink
Being good~is good as gold
And feeling blue~means that we are down
Or going blue with cold

Deep thought~ is a brown study
Yellow~ is a cowards streak
A lucky run~a purple patch
Grey Hair ~ a rosy cheek

These colors prove conclusively
In joy, in grief and strife
That each and everybody leads
A full and colorful life.



Recognized


There is color everywhere we turn.
