I am purple as I look through the book.
I am blue when I see that photo of us
and my smile looks just like you.
I am red when I see that memory
of you holding us ready for bed.
Sapphire when I see us in
your birthday attire.
Flame when I see the
frame of you with the
grand daughter who
has you in her middle name.
Mixed with emotion when I look.
Skies when I think of your favorite
color and look at your eyes.
Maroon when I think of how
I miss you and it was too soon.
