Color Me Free

By Virginia Pulliam

Time has taken me through many colors

Colors of courage that taught me to be real

Colors of Harmony that teach me to be still

Colors of Patience that showed me how to love

Colors of endurance, teach me to embrace my power

Colors of pain tell me God is alive inside of me

Colors of Awareness, listening, reading, provoking change from within

Colors of Empowerment, keep me proud, secure, and independent

Through this journey of trials and tribulation, I seek revelations that will Color Me Free

I am a mother, grandmother and friend. I am a woman trying to tap into her creative nature, by taking classes and bringing positivity in to my life. I meditate and find quiet time for myself.
