Analysis of 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?"
