Colours play a big part in what happens to us every day
As I have tried to show by putting it in verse this way.
Starting with white the colour we go when we have a fright
And black can be a nasty rage, not a very pretty sight.

Green is being envious bringing jealousy to the fore
Purple is strong language that cuts you to the core.
Red you go with embarrassment, wanting to go and hide
Yellow is a coward, someone you don’t want on your side.

Blue is the tint your skin goes when you are very cold
And silver can be your hair colour when you grow old.
A brown study is when your mind has wandered quite a bit
But when you say you are in the pink, it means that you are fit.

Sometimes if we are not well our skin is tinged with grey
But a golden glow about us means we’ve had a super day
Our lives are one big rainbow made up of many different hues
So think hard each day about which colour you would choose.
