When I was young,
a child with no experience in life,
it was easy, fun, and guided for me.
Paint my world blue and colorful.
As a teen, it was challenging,
I struggled to establish myself,
give me room to be ME!
Paint my world purple..mysterious and searching.
I learned,
hard lessons, gentle memories,
I grew, I loved, I lost and won.
Paint my life red with action!
I lose more than win now.
I remember the tenderness more than the pain.
Loss will not win, the love will reign.
Paint my world blue and colorful.
White and misty colors paint a new beginning,
a time where there is no way to move but forward.
