Eyes wrenched open against futile attempts
To keep them closed, blocking out the truth
Some wear chameleon skin
Blending, becoming what you desire
Others bury beauty beneath layers of armor
Hiding battle scars, forming individuality
True colors are ours to mix
Hues of gold kiss the heart
Who knows nothing of it's value
Helping all without ever really knowing
Visualize the good before any fault
Never casting blame even when justified
Blessed,sunny yellow brightening days
With warmth felt for miles across waters
Touching corners so long shadowed
With loving rays never tiring
No exceptions to who receives light
Playful orange with responsible undertone
Never late to the punch line
Though knowing when and where to cease
Pushing boundaries just enough
To gain a fast friendship in me
Brotherly blue, gentle and kind
Tender words laced with comfort
Setting minds at ease with confident smile
Seeing the positive in dreary situations
True, loyal blue: friendships' blessing
Storm cloud gray, swirling with indecision
Able to shift at will to help or harm
Bring gentle rain or torrents of pain
As unpredictable as life itself
Always an act, no stability
Young, innocent pink, as lively as they come
Life of the proverbial party
Blissful yet deep all the same
Keep the mood light when sorrow reigns
With laughter more infectious than virus.
My friends, my family, my rainbow..
