Blue’s fine shades draw us near
Welcoming us in many ways

Lightly peaceful, relax and breathe
Waters soothing and sky’s clear days

Touching softly its companions
Settle back in calm serene

Brightens, lifts, and cools our head
To think, create… So fresh and clean

Then bold and dark, stable commitment
Speaks of strength and lends its dignity

Standing now for trust, honesty
Respect for others and authority

Be watchful, when into melancholy you sink
Then bring alongside… those shades of bright blue
