What is the color of forgiveness?
Is it pink, delicate as the bloom of a Peace rose?
Is it green, refreshing like the mist from the sparkling sea?
Is it red, warm as the rock in the desert sand?
Is it yellow, bright as the sunflower in summer's field?
Is it blue, cool as the water under the azure sky?
Is it brown, rich like the soil beneath our weary feet?
Is it black, dark like the night surrounding each of us?
It must be white,
reflecting God's light
Crafting peace
Healing wounds
Spreading love
Holding all.
