I think there should be a recall on the color gray…

I think there should be a recall on the color gray…
Within it are a lifetime of unused tears…
That side path that spins the same five records…
Steps into nowhere.

I would prefer only jolly colors…
Like the round yellow heart of a daisy…
The high, cool, green pastures…
The earth’s easel splashed with purples, reds and blues.

These colors I have tasted…
A merry land in a merry world…
We will go exploring together…
And watch as your burden lightens.

We are in the image of our creator, but no two of us are alike…
Oh, what glorious colors!
We’ve been given this wonderful playground of colors…
Time to play!

So, wear the stars you have been given like a crown…
Laugh, anytime any where…
You should always be joyfully independent…
Far from the color gray.

I love you,

Annie
