Coloring

I read this in Amy Grant's book Mosaic (a very good book by the way-so everyone, go read it because I said so!) and I really liked it, so I decided to share it with all of ya'll.

Coloring

On a rainy day my favorite thing

Is a good friends beside me coloring.

She might draw a wolf eating a sheep

While I scribble and scratch and keep

On wadding papers I throw to the floor.

I'd like to draw something my friend will adore.

Would she really like a birds nest with eggs?

Or a wrinkled pig with stubby leg?

Of course, she'll say, "You draw better than me!"

And I will think she's blind and cannot see.

I like her picture a lot more then mine.

She got all the good crayons I couldn't find,

Leaving me black ones, and brown and gray,

Colors that look like this day.

But even so my favorite thing

Is a good friend coloring beside me coloring.
