Monday, Monday,
how many of you have
I lived in my lifetime?

You’re not blue
like you used to be,
nor red either!

In my blue Monday days,
thinking of going to work
made me, well, blue!

In my red Monday days,
I started feeling anxious
and angry on Sunday afternoons.

Mondays are now rosy pink,
because they are peaceful,
calm and, I think,
full of love and purpose.

I finally found my favorite color!
