I had no red
I had no red for wounds & 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 sands

I had a Paint Box
Each color glowing with delight
I had a Paint Box with colors
Warm & cool & bright

I had orange
I had orange for joy & life
I had green for buds & blooms
I had blue
I had blue for clear bright skies
I had pink for dreams & rest

I had a Paint Box
Each color glowing with delight
I had a Paint Box with colors
Warm & cool & bright

I had a Paint Box
Each color glowing with delight
I sat down
I sat down & painted peace
Salom
Shalom
Shalom
