Color Poems
Dreamy Blue
Happiness, hugs, love
Peace on earth
Similarities not differences
You before me
Copper Courage
Everyday in every trouble
Standing firm even if alone
Doing the right thing with hope
Loving, learning, living
Purple Mist
Blocking out noise/hate of the world
Being kind and humble
Standing firm on right and wrong
Joy in peaceful times
Happiness, hugs, love
Peace on earth
Similarities not differences
You before me
Copper Courage
Everyday in every trouble
Standing firm even if alone
Doing the right thing with hope
Loving, learning, living
Purple Mist
Blocking out noise/hate of the world
Being kind and humble
Standing firm on right and wrong
Joy in peaceful times
