Colours Poem by jennifer jane pryce

I see beneath that painted glaze
That colours you so bright
I see beneath your golden hues
That emanates with light

You cover up so beautifully
Your pain beneath your shell
Of all the hardship that you bear
But I can always tell

That what you have underneath it all
Is worth its weight in gold
And want to take you in my arms
To stay and always hold

I’ll take your pain and lock it up
And place it out of sight
And spare you what is underneath
And not declare your plight

You keep your paint
And colour scheme
Forever to the fore
And I’ll let you know without a doubt
I’ll love you all the more
