Paint Box

I had a paint box

Each color glowing with delight

I had a paint box with colors

Warm and cool and bright

I had a paint box

Each color glowing with delight

I had a paint box with colors

Warm and cool and bright

I had no Red

I had no Red for wounds and blood

I had no Black for an orphaned child

I had no White

I had no White for the face of the dead

I had no Yellow for burning sand

I had a paint box

Each color glowing with delight

I had a paint box with colors

Warm and cool and bright

I had Orange

I had Orange for joy and life

I had Green

Green for buds and blooms

I had Blue

I had Blue for a clear bright sky

I had Pink

Pink for dreams and rest

I had a paint box

Each color glowing with delight

I had a paint box with colors

Warm and cool and bright

I had a paint box

Each color glowing with delight

I sat down

I sat down and painted Peace / Salaam / Shalom

שלום
