Purple

Yellow

I must admit my dear

Before we met; I never knew

Anyone who could wear colors

Quite as wonderfully as you.

So much style with every shade;

It was admirable to me.

Each color and pattern you donned

Reflected your dazzling personality.

Red and stripes, blue and polka dots

With brilliance did you present

Purple, animal prints, green and flowers-

You made it look so elegant.

Gold, orange, and yellow

Bright out the brightness of your eyes

Lovingly reminding me of the beauty

Of the shimmering sunrise…

But then the sun set on you.

My heart broke within my chest

And I tried to lay to rest

Every color that reminded me of you.

Every contrast that had luster;

Every bold and beautiful hue

And in sadness I resigned

Reflecting only black and blue.

My heart was devoid of color

Oh, Dear God how can this be?

Why did you allow my yellow

To be snatched away from me?

Don’t you cry, love He responded

"but she was borrowed from the start.

You’ll see her again, but until then;

Keep ‘yellow’ in your heart."

I will never cease to miss you

But I’ll see you after a while

And now every time I wear yellow

I smile a secret smile.

Unaware

Distractions, Distractions

Just the enemy’s hidden attraction

Unaware we have the wrong reaction

Once we lose even a fraction

Some of the drive that brought us where

We were free and could bare

The burdens of others in our prayer

With our eyes off of God, again unaware,

Of momentums loss and now we lack

The push, the thrust we become slack

Now the race seems hard, now off track

We lose our ear for God who’d brought us back

From the dead, once again distracted

Our lives no longer impacted

By that Word which
