Nana and stormie
Mom and her three daughters
Life is a thing of beauty
So many things to see and do
It's really all about colors
But the hues are up to you
A sunrise in the morning can be shining with GOLD
Sky so BLUE they seem to go on forever or BLACK as the night, sprinkled with stars so bright.
The clouds in the sky all fluffy and WHITE
Many sea animals.. if you look you might
With SILVER linings some clouds are
Those are a favorite by far
The mountains in the distance
Are a wonder to behold
All covered with GREEN standing so majestic and bold
A field of flowers waving in the wind
All PURPLE and YELLOW inviting you in
RoseS standing so straight and tall
Ones colored and RED are the most wanted of all
These are the things God created for us to see
It's a rainbow of life for you and me
All we need do is open our hearts, minds and souls
We'll feel a healing from all our woes.
