I Want to Dream in Color

Poem | Duration: 1 Minute

---

I want to dream in color,

In dye, shade, and hue.

But this I’ve come to discover,

Is not so simple to do.

I desire to be unique,

Set aside from all the rest.

As one should not critique,

Unless given their very best.

Our differences are what make us,

Shape us, even separate us.

But don't forget that we,

Are perfect just the way He made us.

Respect and appreciate,

Our oddities, as they are,

So easy to give in to hate,

That's not what we're aiming for.

I believe in a world of balance,

Support and restoration.

I think we can take on the challenge,

For we are a wonderful Nation.

I want to dream in color,

don't you?
