My hair is like the color of the sea sand.

My eyes are green like the silky seaweed.

My family is crazy as a couple of monkeys!

 My heart holds compassion that is pink and yellow  like my mom’s flowers,

and my dreams are the color of a rainbow

and are filled with love and happiness.

and are filled with wondrous things around every corner.

My hair is like yellow tulips with a little mist.

My eyes are brown like a soft mud pie.

My dreams are the color of blue sky

 and are filled with birds chirping with morning.

 My hair is like a pot of soil gleaming in the sunlight.

My eyes are blue like the deep ocean waters

the midnight sky that flows through the night.

My hair is like mouth-watering milk chocolate.

My eyes are blue like the twinkling shine of a star.

My hair is like the yellow fire of a dragon’s breath.

My eyes are blue like a bluebird that flies freely in the shining sky.

My heart holds happiness that is white like the puffy clouds.

My dreams are the color of orange

and are filled with joy, happiness, and peace.

My hair is like the soft soil of earth’s nature.

My eyes are blue like the dashing water of the seas.

My skin is the warmth of my body like the sun’s gentle ray.

My heart holds joyful passion that is white like the morning clouds.

My dreams are the color of cyan and are filled with

the grandest passion and power.

My hair is like strands of melted dark chocolate.

My eyes are brown like an outside of a coconut’s shell.

My face is exquisite as a porcelain doll.

My heart holds friendship to myself  that is brown

 like a sunflower’s middle.
