Pick A Crayon



Pick a crayon from the box the color of your soul
Shade within the dotted lines until the phantom's whole

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your love
Shade within the dotted lines to hear the turtledove

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your smile
Shade within the dotted lines for a joyous lifestyle

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your hope
Shade within the dotted lines while skipping the rope

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your worth
Shade within the dotted lines circumventing the dearth

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your mind
Shade within the dotted lines for verity to find

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your goal
Shade within the dotted lines matching a Super Bowl

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your truth
Shade within the dotted lines providing moral couth

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your work
Shade within the dotted lines to see the fruitful perk

Pick a crayon from the box the color of your heart
Shade within the dotted lines emotions to jump-start
