Blue 4 U

I love you, Papa, the bluest.

I love you the colour of a long, rocky flowing stream.

I love you the colour of a shining, sparkling sapphire ring.

The colour of a calm quiet sea,

The colour of thankful, full laughter,

The colour of energizing joy in the bright, thoughtful eyes of yours,

The colour of sweet, fat blueberries,

The colour of a beautiful, shallow coral reef,

I love you, Papa, the bluest.

Love, Ben.
