Green was my mother’s favorite color
like the grass
and the trees
she was green like the nature we both enjoyed
sitting by a fire
roasting marshmallows
Red was my dad’s favorite color
like the van he drove me to college in
and the even older van he picked me up
from preschool in
He was red like fire
comforting, passionate, and warm
My favorite color is blue
like the ocean I love to swim in
like the old Chevy my grandma used to drive
like the tears I cry when I miss them
because they are gone too soon
These colors remind me
that they were real
that they were here
and that they watch over me now
Green like the grass and the trees
Red like fire and ladybugs and the old van I now own
Blue like the sky and the ocean
and the eyes my mother gave me
