RED
For a rose which reminds me of my first love.
And the love of a Savior who came from above.

GREEN
For the very first dollar I ever made,
Coming home to my family, proudly giving it a wave.

WHITE
The color of my wedding gown of lace,
As I dreamed of the day with a smile on my face.

PINK
Is the color of two rosy cheeks,
This bundle of joy for which I’ve waited for weeks.

YELLOW
The color of my little girl’s long curls.
Dancing in her pretty party dress as she twirls.

BLUE
How I felt sending my child to school the first time,
Knowing that never againw ill he be all mine.

ORANGE
As bright as the sunshine I see in a sunrise,
Warming me to my soul as it floods through my eyes.

PURPLE

Violets, hyacinths and lavender too
Bring color to springtime as it comes bursting thru.

BROWN
The color of chocolate candy,
Which can make any day seem just dandy.

BLACK
The color they may wear when at my grave
When feelings of colors my whole life I’ve saved.

So I say send me off with rainbows and 
	balloons and butterflies,
For the feelings of love will then be
	showing in your eyes.
