Coat of Many Colors


We all have coats of many colors.

Some more than others.

There's red, blue, and many more a hue.

Which one are you?

Are you angry?

Sucked with sorrow?

Do you often think..."it'll be better tomorrow"?

Maybe you're down...down in the dumps.

Maybe the slightest often gives you jumps.

Red for angry, blue for calm, purple depressed.

Life goes on.

These coats of many colors.

Be careful what you wear....

Life is hard.  An enless rollercoaster.

As soon as you get comfortable, it tumbles off its tracks.

Plummets into the ground.

Life's too short to have anything but white.

White and pure, so obscure.  So wonderful, this old, dark tunnel.

Make a purpose.

Have a laugh.

Go down many a path.

And if you can't find your own color, put your coat in the bath.
