My Rainbow
My mother’s laugh resonates in yellow.
My father’s caring heart contorts into pink and the orange as I dribble.
Athletics sing through the jerseys of red, white and blue,
soon to blaze in future colors of green, white and gold true.
I am from the blue, stark yellow, and trees of green; summer days spent on the lake,
from running through grey clouds of rain to catapulting onto the wave runners laughing away the days.
I tear pulling back from the black hearse of my grandfather,
from the heirloom silver bracelet of my grandmother.
I am from the the rainbows of happiness to the colors of darkness
from the brown crumbled dirt of my home.
I am from the prisms of personalities my family possesses,
ending with the passionate red of love.
I choose to live my life in color,
creating different shades as time continues on.
