A World of Colors
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Red is the color of an apple
Of tomatoes ripening on the vine,
Of sweet Bing cherries, and fresh strawberries
Of hearts on a valentine.

Orange is the color of a carrot
Of pumpkins and oranges and squash,
A light flashing orange is a warning
To be on alert and to watch!

Yellow is the color of a lemon,
Of bananas, the moon and the sun,
Yellow is the bright and happy color
That is loved by everyone.

Green is the color of a pine tree,
Of emeralds, and ivy and grass,
Green means go at the stoplight
But red means stop! Don't pass!

Blue is the color of the ocean,
Of the sky on a cloudless day,
Blue is the calm and peaceful color
Of a lake on a summer's day.

Purple is the rich and royal color
Worn by blue-blooded kings,
It's the color of grapes, and juicy plums too
And lilacs that grow in the spring.

We live in a world full of rainbows
With so many colors to see,
They make our world so much brighter,
It's a beautiful place to be!
