Red is for a rose
fragrant and bright,
Glistening in the dew,
a wonderful sight.

Orange is happy,
sunset and sunrise,
a warm batch of cookies
and fresh pumpkin pies.

Yellow is sunshine,
all warm and bright,
that comes in the morning
to chase off the night.

Green is a forest,
clean and serene,
fresh air and flowers
and fairies not seen.

Blue is for bluebirds
and bright, sunny skies,
mellow and calming
to open our Eyes.

Indigo children
and Indigo Girls;
what a great color
for a necklace of pearls.

Purple is royal,
a color for spring,
a patch of wild violets,
birds want to sing.

A rainbow needs all colors,
not just one or two,
and we need all  our colors,
me and you too!
