Woman of Many Colors

Ever sat in silence and wondered why God made you, distinctively you;

We are all the same but beautifully painted in different colors, shapes and sizes.

But what’s on the inside is what makes us unique through and through;

While some fail to see their true colors, walking through life dressed in many guises.

We journey through life trying to find that essence;

What resonates, what moves, inspires and energizes us.

What makes us whole, our exceptional parts, our coalescence;

How can we express ourselves to the world without being superfluous.

But why should we hold in those colors, just let them fly illustrious;

Don’t be too proud, remember your oneness and help others proclaim their own.

Share your love and kindness with the world and stay curious;

For you never know when you might add a color, venturing into the unknown.

I am a woman of many colors, though most may not shine bright;

I only share some with those close, in fear of what others might denounce.

For most days I am the color of the night;

But one day soon, to all, my colors I will announce.

But for now some days I may be a little grey with hints of brown;

While others I’m yellow and bright for all to see.

Make sure whatever your colors, don’t ever back down;

Shine true, shine strong, and always be you just as I will always be me.
