The Hues of my Soul

The hues of my soul,

Ever-changing with each day.

At times is black like that of coal,

When depression seems to stay.

I’m not afraid of the dark,

When life keeps knocking me down.

Even if it leaves a mark,

I know I wear a crown.

Gold is the crown upon my head,

That reminds me of my worth.

Deep down I know to look ahead,

There’s more for me on this Earth.

I’ll push myself every day,

For I know I will succeed.

Love and kindness I will display,

To spread just like a weed.

Soft red, orange, and yellow,

A sunset of my love.

The warmth creates a mellow,

Which comforts like a glove.

It fills my heart from wall to wall,

These connections I hold dear.

With their support I will not fall,

So I’ll continue to persevere.

As deep as the ocean blue,

Are the color of his eyes.

It is my favorite of any view,

When I stare I’m paralyzed.

In my stomach the butterflies dance,

And I know that this is fate.

Unmatched is this romance,

Our future we do await.

Lavender I feel when they smile,

My children so young and pure.

If they could stay little for just a while,

But for time there is no cure.

I want to be my best for them,

And a lot of times I doubt.

Their self-worth from me does stem,

Therefore they’ll never go without.

White as the tips of mountain tops,

My vision is open and bright.

The drive for life never stops,

For the ride I’ll hold on tight.

Chasing after all my dreams,

And doing what it takes.

To show my kids to pick their teams,

And not quit when they make mistakes.

From black to white and in-between,

My life is full of shades.

Some colors may be left unseen,

Until a moment where it invades.

This is my soul and all of it’s hues,

To describe the feelings inside.

I sometimes struggle but try to choose,

The positive thoughts I’ve once denied.
