What Color Is Love Poem by Rita Hawkins

What Color Is Love

Rating: 5.0


Have you ever asked yourself 'What color is love? '
Some would say it is white,
Because a dove is the sign of love, and they are white.

Some would say it is red,
Because when you visualize your heart it is red,
And lies in a bed of blood.

Some would say it is green,
Because Mother Nature is green, and she is love,
That is why we have veggies like green beans.

The truth is we do not know what color love is,
It comes in many forms,
From Tough Love that calls a blow,
To sweet love that holds you when the tears flow.

No one ever thinks that a crow could be love,
Partly because it is black, not white like a dove.
We should love everyone whether friend or foe,
But often what we should do,
Is not what we would do.

So I ask you my friend,
How do you know?
Just what color love is, or in whom it can flow.
Love is something anyone can have, and over time it will grow,
And one day, when someone needs it, it will glow.
