Green, the color of your jacket
The grass you sleep on
The money you lack
Brown, the color of your hair
The mud you walk on
The food to nourish you
Blue, the color of your eyes
The sky above you
The clean clothes you need
Red, the color of your heart
The sunburn on your skin
The strength you have
Purple, the hope you carry
The home you love
The love you cherish
Black, the rough outer layer
The honor you protect
The soldier I see
Yellow, the happiness you share
The secrets you hold
The knowledge you bear
White, the innocence you are
The mix of all emotions
The person inside
Many colors, one soul by MiriamP
