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
