ADD TO MY FAVORITES
The color of kings, queens and
Roman Emperors.
As well as it is also known as
the color of servant hood.
PURPLE……………………
The deep, rich color of wine.
A color of dark secrecy, deep
Passions and oftentimes
great sadness.
PURPLE……………………
The sounding of its syllables
brings out stark emotional
intensities.
Its very name signifies
Drama, tension and
dark intrigue.
PURPLE……………………
Its very name has been invoked time
and time and time again from
Davy, Bobby and MaryJane
Begging sometimes a little
too loudly, but very earnestly --
“Mommy, Daddy just one more time,
Won’t you pretty please!!!”
For a bedtime reading of
that “Purple Crayon” story.
PURPLE……………………
It has been called on time again --
To serve both in legends and songs
from times long since gone by
as well as into the present age to add color,
depth, despair and a sense of wonder while
at the same time sustaining
an ever-present evocative
sense of mystery.
PURPLE……………………
A Purple Heart is the name of a
Medal of Merit --
For those soldiers and officers all
who have given
their lifes’ blood
On the Field of War,
while defending
Our Country.
PURPLE……………………
It’s the bright hued color of
the first flowers brave enough
to show themselves
in the early, cool days
of Spring.
PURPLE……………………
Is the color of the Robe that
Jesus Christ wore
With His Crown of Thorns
Before being
Crucified
For our
Sins.
