Colours

I've pondered this since I was a child

What makes the grass so green

I know there's a logical explanation

Sure seems like some magical scheme

To explain why oceans are a deep indigo

Or the cerulean blue sky up above

The rising sun is a bright yellow ball

Why red is the colour of love

Pink is associated with a baby's skin

As we cuddle and snuggle and coo

Mauve is usually the colour of sadness

When life throws a curve at you

The colour of nature is a wonder to behold

Artists try to capture its magic

What if the world was just shades of grey

Sure would be sad and quite tragic

So pray when you wake up each morning

Nature's colours will still be the same

It's what makes this world a joy to behold

And its beauty continues to reign
