coat of many colors
back through the years i go wondering once again back to the seasons of my youth i recall a box of rags that someone gave us and how my momma put the rags to use there were rags of many colors and every piece was small and i didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall momma sewed the rags together sewing every piece with love she made my coat of many colors that i was so proud of as she sewed she told a story from the bible she had read about a coat of many colors Josheph wore and then she said perhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happiness and i just couldn't wait to wear it and momma blessed it with a kiss my coat of many colors that my momma made for me made only from rags but i wore it so proudly i know we had money but i was rich as i could be in my coat of many colors my momma made for me so with patches on my britiches holes in both my shoes in my coat of many colors i hurried off to school just to find the others laughing and a making fun of me in my coat of many colors my momma made for me and oh i couldn't understand for i felt i was rich and i told them all the love my momma sewed in every stich and i told them all the story momma told me while she sewed and how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes but they didn't understand and i tried to make them see one is only poor only if they choose to be now i know we have no money but i was rich as i could be in my coat of many colors momma made for me made just for me.
