“What Colour Is Love?” Linda Strachan
“What colour is love?” asked Small Smooth and Grey “Could it be green?”
Said old wrinkly granddad “I’m not sure if that’s true the grass is green, so love might be blue”
“What colour is love?” asked Small Smooth and Grey “Could it be blue?”
Tiger turned over and rolled on his back “I don’t know little fellow but the sky is blue, maybe love could be yellow?”
“What colour is love?” asked Small Smooth and Grey “Could it be yellow?”
Lion looked up too tired to play, he yawned and then said “but this hot sun is yellow, isn’t love red?”
“What colour is love?” asked Small Smooth and Grey “Could it be red?”
Parrot looked down from his perch in the tree, “Red is for flowers, but love is so bright It’s really quite simple, love must be white!”
“What colour is love?” asked Small Smooth and Grey “Could it be white?”
But Zebra said, “Nooooooo Love isn’t white, I think Love is so wonderful it must be pink!”
“What colour is love?” asked Small Smooth and Grey “Could it be pink?”
“Pink?” screeched flamingo “No that can’t be right, Love should be orange like the sunset at night.”
Tired and worn out at the end of the day,“I know who to ask” said Small Smooth and Grey.
He left the Flamingo with tall slender legs, and passed by the zebra by the old river bed.
Lion had gone from his rock in the sun, and Tiger out hunting set off for a run.
He went to the water and dipped in his toe, he said to his mother “Does nobody know?
I’ve tried ALL of the colours; from the grass to the flowers, from the sky to the clouds ,to the sun up above,
But NO ONE could tell me the colour of love.”
“What colour is love?” I say little one; Its as dark as the night and as bright as the sun,
Imagine a colour and love is right there, Love’s every colour, everything, everywhere.
“What colour is love? Every colour, all around… Because nothing else matters when it’s love that you’ve found.”
