Color Me

Color me blue for that is the color of the sky above.

Color me red, like a valentine, the color of love.

Color me green, each and every shade of green.

Or if you like you can color me yellow, bright and clean.

Or simply choose a color from the colors of the rainbow.

If you like you can color me shades of white and gray like the clouds as the wind blows.

Whatever color you paint me from the outside, please do this for me.

When looking into my soul here is what I pray you see.

I pray you will see love and joy which does not lack.

For without them my soul would turn black.

My soul would be void of the Passion of my Lord.

I would then find it easy to take up a sword.

I would cast away life as if I had no purpose or recourse

Except to inflict pain upon others without any remorse.

Color me the colors of the rainbow that arches above.

I beg you, Dear Lord to color me with love.
