Colours of Life
What are the colours of Life?
For some it's the red of a blood-tainted knife.
Or maybe the green of soft, springy grass.
Or even the blue of seeing the sky at last.
Could be the brown of a great big gum tree,
Or the pink of a rose, plucked fresh for thee.
Whatever yours is, its you own, no-one else,
May take it, it's yours,
It lies on your shelf.
