All the colors displayed in this world that God made—
every glorious, fabulous, beautiful shade—
show how good God
is and will
always be.
But what is the color of love? Come and see!
Is love orange like a pumpkin God grows from a seed
or like monarch butterflies that munch on milkweed?
ORANGE makes me feel grateful for the things God creates,
from the people we love to the food on our plates.
Is love yellow like the sunflowers God made to stand tall
or like honeysuckle vines that crawl up a wall?
YELLOW brings me joy, like friends working together
while God grows our garden in bright sunny weather.
