Color: Blue

I inhale you in as I am outside at play. It is the breath of peacefulness on a clear summer day.

I sample your freedom with such emotion. It is the sound of countless waves in the ocean.

I feel your sadness at the bottom of my heart. It is the coldness that tears us apart.

I savor the health benefits in every bite. It is the sweetness of the fruit's delight.

Adventures—I can’t wait to make. It is the journey I am to take.

I wear the pride like my personal swag. It is the justice in the American flag.

Liked by most, I am in the majority. It is the power of authority.

I am blessed with stability. It is the loyalty of family.

Comforted by the warmth I know will never end, It is the familiarity of a forever friend.
