Colors of the Rainbow

Kim Spivey 1957 (New York)



Yellow, red, green, purple, and blue.
Which color of the rainbow resembles you?
Bright as the sun, burning hot as a flame.
Like a plush rolling lawn, would they think of your name?
Brilliant as royalty, or an exalted birth.
Excellence of character, are you a person of worth?
A gem of a personality, pure as a clear sky.
Just honestly ask yourself, "Which one am I?"
