Today I am thankful for the words of others. For the things they help me see, for the things they help me remember. My friend is thankful for colors today and it helped me remember a poem (more words) and an idea that is important! Thank you - "others" for sharing your "words"!
“We are a box of crayons That don’t really get along,”
Said blue to all the others “Something here is wrong!”
Well, I bought that box of crayons And took it home with me
And laid out all the crayons So the crayons could all see.
They watched me as I colored with red and blue and green
and black and white and orange and every color in between.
They watched as green became the grass and blue became the sky.
The yellow sun was shining bright on white clouds drifting by.
Colors changing as they touched, Becoming something new.
They watched me as I colored. They watched till I was through.
And when I’d finally finished, I began to walk away.
And as I did the crayon box Had something more to say…
“I do like red!” said the yellow and green said, “So do I!”
“And blue you are terrific so high up in the sky.”
“We are a box of crayons each of us unique,
but when we get together the picture is complete.”

Wouldn’t it be terrible? Wouldn’t it be sad?
If just one single color was the color that we had?
If everything was purple? Or red? Or blue? Or green?
If yellow, pink, or orange was all that could be seen?
Can you just imagine how dull our world would be if
just one single color was all we got to see?
