All alone in this world,
Away from people I have been hurled.
Black and white is all I see,
But wait, there is three!
The other color that is here,
Gives me great cheer.
In this world that is so blue,
I need something to brighten my view.
The one color that brightens my day,
Makes this world less than gray.
The one color that I hold so dear,
And decreases my fear.
This one color that erases my dread,
is the color…. Red!
The reason why is simply this,
It fills our lives with great bliss.
For red is the color that symbols love,
Without this all good things, we would be deprived of.
