Excellent writing and very uplifting! I did read this before somewhere and enjoyed reading it again.

>There's a coat of many colors
>Though it's ragged, torn, and frayed
>It's been laid across a nation
>A covering some would say
>
>It protects us from the harshness
>Of a bitter chill in air
>From the lack of happy sunshine
>To warm this life so rare
>
>It was made with loving hearts
>Stitched together from the scraps
>The needle sews it tightly
>With threads that won't collapse
>
>A coat of many colors
>Underneath the sky so blue
>Worn proudly for a covering
>It's so precious but not new
>
>It's been here for many years
>Hanging in those unused rooms
>It's been waiting for the season
>To be pulled from silent tombs
>
>Take out your coat of colors
>Dust off the smell of musk
>Fly it proudly in the daylight
>Saying prayers for it at dusk
>
>It will not leave you wanting
>Feel the love and warmth inside
>If you wear that coat of colors
>With humility and pride
>
