Kaleidoscope

Colors? There are too many to name,

just like my soul, you'll never tame.

Pinks and grays, they are my mother,

Orderly and consistent like no other.

Blues and purples are my baby sister,

I never knew just how I’d miss her.

My brother claimed the yellow gold

He would be gone before he was old.

Brilliant red, that was my dad,

Makes me smile, though my heart is sad.

Sun and wind and daisy white,

My older sister embraced that light.

Kaleidoscope, how colors tumble and swirl,

They are the music of my world.

Each brings a memory, minutes become years,

The colors sustain me through my tears.

They take away pain, and ease my strife,

Colors weave the fabric of my life.
