Life's Sweet Rainbow Poem by SPC Kellaway

Take the west road over
the glittering green hills of your youth

Add the blue azure morning sky
that reflects your family love

Shadow the edges with deep crimson
for the lust of the awakening years

Look for the dazzling sunlit orange
of those early romantic dreams

Relive the crisp yellow spring
of those playful childhood days

Dance with the black of those
dark and dismal times of despair

Breathe in the vibrant blue green
of the fast flowing river of fate

Search again for the deep violet flowers
that bear the coffin away

Dwell amongst the earthy browns
of a depressing wet autumn day

The colours of life are our foundation
the essence of our vision

They spread their story to our spirit
and shape its being

We are all born ‘white’
but how colourful we become
