Lilac

My color for today

By Annaliese ConePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The first thing I say

When I meet a new person

Is what’s your favorite color

The response doesn’t matter as much as look they first get

“But we’re adults, do we still need a favorite color”

It flashes through their eyes but everyone lets that go

Because underneath we all want to know

We all want to see each other in those childlike eyes

That tell us beauty is in every color

So now I ask you, if today was one color, what color would it be for you?
