Our white and black- their muted grays,
that paint life's picture through our days;
the good and bad- all in between,
makes life's true shade- a blended scene.
Bright whites expand with pristine joy
as rays of sunshine fast employ,
uplifting feelings in the heart
where hopeful dreams will always start.
But then- the dreary, blackened skies
with thunder clouds that bring sad sighs,
contrast with joys to blot their glow;
adjusting with a shadowed show.
Life is a contrast- birth and death;
and in between, with every breath-
our black and white- their grays, all blend
to paint a life we comprehend.
