The Whole Rainbow
I used to like purple the best
But now I love the whole rainbow:
Each part of me therein expressed.
As a child, I was obsessed;
I guess some things you just outgrow.
I used to like purple the best.
The prism in me manifest
Can through my life the spectrum show
Each part of me therein expressed.
It’s not a battle nor a test
To bring me to where I can glow.
I used to like purple the best.
And though I have not yet confessed
Every part of me, you know
Each part of me herein expressed.
No longer is my heart compressed;
Now I am free to learn and grow.
I used to like purple the best;
Each part of me herein expressed.
A light-hearted poem of liberation, Esther.
