Spectrum of Life

Life is a kaleidoscope of varied colours,

That range from greys of gloom, to the glorious red.

The yellow of positivity, happiness and joy,

Enthusiastic orange that optimism spreads.

The feminine pink of gratitude, softness and calm,

Nature’s green giving harmony and prosperity to all.

The vibrant blue of trust, loyalty and responsibility,

The spiritual and wise purple that lifts every spirit tall.

Empathy, emotion and compassion of the calm turquoise,

The stable and reliable brown that is dependable to comfort.

Exuding authority and sophistication, the black wields power,

Balancing every color, the purity and innocence of white supports.

The spectrum of colours that are bestowed on us,

Teach us lessons that no color ever stays for long.

Every black cloud has a silver lining that shines some day,

Hues of hearts and souls then mingle, singing life’s song.
