SpringggRain: I had a box of colors - Shining, bright, and bold. I had a box of colors, Some warm, some very cold. I had no red for the blood of wounds. I had no black for the orphans' grief. I had no white for dead faces and hands. I had no yellow for burning sands. But I had orange for the joy of life, And I had green for buds and nests. I had blue for bright, clear skies. I had pink for dreams and rest. I sat down And painted Peace.
Shining, bright, and bold.
I had a box of colors,
Some warm, some very cold.
I had no red for the blood of wounds.
I had no black for the orphans' grief.
I had no white for dead faces and hands.
I had no yellow for burning sands.
But I had orange for the joy of life,
And I had green for buds and nests.
I had blue for bright, clear skies.
I had pink for dreams and rest.
I sat down
And painted
Peace.
