Red is the taste of a ripe, luscious strawberry,
and red the breast of a robin flying high.
Red’s also the crimson glow of Rudolph’s nose,
and red is the color of St. Nicholas’ suit.
Red are boxes of chocolate on Valentine’s Day,
and red is the shiny ruby that cries out to be bought.
Red are the garnet embers of a crackling fire,
and red is a feeling of safety with the ones you love.

Red is hard and stubborn.
Red will never give in
Even when it needs to.

Red has the brawn of an ox,
The skill of a pride of lions,
And the diligence of a colony of ants.

Red does not back down or grow weary.
Red stands his ground firmly.
Red is optimistic.

Red is like a harvest of fresh raspberries:
Satisfyingly and deliciously juicy.
Red is charming and romantic.

Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor. ~Proverbs 21:21   ✝
