What Color?

Last night was the final meeting for a bible study I was part of. One of the ladies shared her gift of writing poetry with us.

What Color?
What color is Patience?
As pastel blue as a robin's egg, tucked safely in the nest.
What color is Peace?
As dusky purple as the shadows cast curing the last light on a mountain.
What color is Gentleness?
As white and sparkling as the first snow of the year. Falling so lightly gathering on the dry oak leaves, barely hanging on the trees.
What color is Kindness?
As creamy brown as cookie dough. Promising a wonderful treat to share.
What color is Goodness?
As pink as the skin of a newborn baby. Perfect and glowing, made by God's hand.
What color is Faithfulness?
As grey as the rocks on a well worn path. Rocks surrounded and held in place by packed earth to hold them during our life walk.
What color is Self Control?
As flashy as the yellow caution sign. Warning us to be still and know that through Him all things are possible.
What color is Joy?
As vibrant green as the leaves of brave spring flowers. Breaking through the cold ground greeted by the warm sunshine.
What color is Love?
As shiny and golden as amber. Warm and comforting, keeping our hearts full forever.
What color is Hope?
As red as the sky sunset. Promising a fresh new day, never seen by any eyes, but perfectly planned for us.
