An apple is red.
The sun is yellow.
The sky is blue.
A leaf is green.
A cloud is white...
and a stone is brown.
The world has many things...
the world has many people...
the world has many colors...
and each of them is different.
In a garden
all the flowers are different colors,
but they live happily together...
side by side.
In a forest
all the birds are different colors,
but they live happily together...
side by side.
In a meadow
all the animals are different colors,
but they live happily together...
side by side.
In our world
all the people are different colors,
and, sometimes, they live happily together...
side by side.
Colors are important
because they make our world beautiful,
but they are not as important
as how we feel...
or what we think...
or what we do.
Colors are "outside" things
and feelings are "inside" things.
Color is something we see with our eyes,
but love is something we see with our heart.
An apple is red,
the sun is yellow,
the sky is blue,
a leaf is green,
a cloud is white...
and the earth is brown.
And, if I asked you,
could you tell me...
what color is love?
