Colour Me Beautiful
Colour me pink, colour me beautiful
A carnation of mothers in fluent pose
Strung with the cords of unbroken bonds
The lasso of love binds us as one...

Colour Me Beautiful
Colour me pink, colour me beautiful
A carnation of mothers in fluent pose
Strung with the cords of unbroken bonds
The lasso of love binds us as one...
Colour me pink, colour me beautiful
Think of a song with those lyrical cues
Ease of her devotion enrich my emotions
I’m the fruit of her womb in one generation.
Colour me pink, colour me beautiful
Heir to this tier of dynasty’s seat
I play the role of a daughter’s gaze
Holding her face I’m touched by grace
Colour me floral, my aura is my essence
I wear my presence like a daisy’s bloom
Colour me fourth as though lost in thoughts
I remain the verdict of this poetic work.
Dynasty
Fourth to first
A peach of a shot
Framed in love
Eye to eye
The joy that binds the lines of the smiles
The timing of the smiles
Leaves a trace with each in place
Second of all, with each other’s gaze
All in sync with the shutters pace
Propped on the third of the matriarch plinth
The banter that inspires this chapter of laughter
A kiss is blown, straight from the heart
This charitable act, completes this work of art.
