My Personal Rainbow

I really think myself, a lucky guy.
That's because of all of the colors in my rainbow.
I really need not point it out,
for surely it's visible for all to see,
I guess I'm just proud of all of my hues.

With that being said, it speaks nothing of the brilliance it shares,
and the way it's even visible at night;
for one can tell that darkness is quite embarrassed by such lustre.

I do know for a fact, however
that, even though I may call the rainbow, "mine"...
I do not hold the misconception that I own it.
I am but a recipient of a life
with a palate full of colors.

What I do own, though...
is my very own personal canvas;
and that it is I, who owns the right to accent it with specific tints.

That's why I consider myself so lucky,
because of all of the shades, tints, and hues that I'm allowed to paint with,
each of these colors is one of you;
and each of these colors represents a blessing, in my life,
a mirrored image, as it were, of all around me.

Which you must realize, by now...that this spectrum includes the color of you.
I however, being the painter of my life...am allowed to choose said colors,
but, I must thank you.....for being one of the brightest hues of my existence!
