ONLY ONE IN COLOR

ONLY ONE IN COLOR

These shades of grey,

Follow me around each and every day,

Obscurity from one another,

In a monotone world, she’s the only one in color,

She’s the vibrant red rose in a garden of gloom,

Yet despite the monotony she is always in full bloom,

Crimson petals as smooth as silk,

She colors my world with a fabulous ilk,

It’s true she stands out so vivid in such a crowd,

Ever so gracefully without being crass and loud,

She thirsts for life and it is quenched like the morning dew,

She is indeed a rarity, seen by only a select few,

In the garden of various hues of grey,

My red rose gives me hope in every way,

In a world of dreary and drab,

She is the only one I want to have,

For like her there is no other,

In my eyes, she is the only one in color.
