Did you ever think that colors are one of God’s smiles?

As we travel lonely roads as we travel lonely miles

Reminding us of loved ones who are thinking of us

A dark bird flies before us and settles in a flowery bush

It could have been a blackbird it could have been a thrush

If someone else was with you, you’d have something to discuss

The dark birds and the flowers remind of who you miss

Waiting for your arrival with a welcoming hug and kiss

As you travel on that lonely road you feel fresh and renewed

Next you notice a garden with hundreds of sunflowers

Whose heads follow the sun and are renewed by His showers

As you go on your journey they have all brightened up your mood

When you think of colors you think of animals’ birds and bees

The bright yellow of the canaries the greenness of the peas

We should all be so thankful that we can see this show so clearly

We should all be so conscious that this is just a summer dividend

And that in the days ahead the gloom of winter will quickly descend

Yet we also realize even in the winter summer will return yearly

Poets proclaim the shape and colors of flowers in poetry and prose

But in a million words they can not describe the beauty of a rose

How can they describe the size the many colors and shading

Each summer we celebrate the coming of the orchids and carnations

And we bring an assortment to birthdays and other celebrations

And try to enjoy their beauty because once cut they start fading
