Color Redefined

oh, white is a color

of purity and peace

a bouquet of soft hydrangeas

a proud snowman on the street

a bridal gown

a baby's angelic smile

a vanilla ice cream treat



but, white is a color

of fear and death

a pale face with ashen lips

cold and bare hospital walls

depressing cemetary tomb

an innocent furry cat

rolling down the Niagara Falls



yet, white is a color

of optimism and hope

bright smiles to replace the tears

fervent prayers answered in the end

a royal white horse

a nation revived

dawn of Messiah, a bright future round the bend
