Making it easier
It's not that easy being green; Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold - or something much more colorful like that.
It's not easy being green. It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water-
or stars in the sky.
But green's the color of Spring. And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like the ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be, It could make you wonder why, but why wonder?
Why Wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.
Inspired by the candle stands at LifeJourney Church, Indianapolis, I again present my monthly poll. As usual, I'll be bringing the list to church Sunday (as I keep noting, this isn't just a Christian thing, candles for prayer or meditation are used in practically all faiths). Newcomers can look down the "prayer candles" tag to see the origin of this.
Poll March 2017 Candlepoll
The candles at my church are in various-colored votive holders -- red, green, blue and yellow, with a few orange and purple. If you have a color preference, you can note it, as well as any other details (optional) in comments (comments screened and not unscreened without explicit permission).
