PATCHWORK by Matt de la Peña.
You were blue before you were even born.
We mark, we mark.
Your mom cut into a two story cake
and out spilled blue,
and everyone hugged and pointed toward
the cloudless blue sky
because it was a sign.
And here you are today,
Blue dressed in blue.
But sometimes your paintbrush at school hovers above the pink.
Some days so much hurt floods your eyes,
You're scared to even blink.
But tears are not pink or blue or weak - they're human.
You are human.
And when you grow up,
the color you will come to love most
is brown.
