GREEN STANDS FOR MERCY

Green stands for mercy

An answer to the plea.

Blue is the gentle smile

That could calm the raging sea.

Purple stands for passion

Followed by glory, an orange brilliant.

Yellow means pain that is hidden well, and Red makes for a confident resilient.

Grey symbolizes transition,

That small time in between.

Every piece of pink that comes

A memory bitter and saline.

-Annika Leewarner
