Colourful

To me, our lives are like a continuous piece of cloth,
Made up of so many colours.
At times we see rich deep purples and reds,
Sombre black, brown or grey,
Delicate pastels of yellow, pink, blue or green.
Amongst the colours of our life we can see
Flecks of white.
The purity of which holds all colours within it.
These reflect the times we reach out
Spontaneously, in an act of love to another.
To the one to whom the gift is given
The colour is no longer white, but transformed to gold.
To each one of you my thanks
For being a golden thread,
running through the fabric of my life
adding so much to it’s beauty.
