Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

Purple is the colour of glowing lights,
The soft purple jacket of warmth through the night,
Purple is the colour of sunset and sunrise,
The bow on a present to show a surprise,
Purple is the universe unexplored,
Or the knowledge of the galaxies that we have stored,
Purple is royalty dressed in suits and gowns,
with their jewellery, armor and beautiful crowns,
Purple is happiness,a fuzzy feeling inside,
Purple is courage, for the times that you've tried,
I know all these things are definitely true,
Because when I think of purple, it reminds me of you.
