    Poem Commentary

    This is a song written for my friend, Latese Wood London, when she was a little girl.  She's a "fellow redhead," actually she's a gorgeous strawberry blond!  It meant a lot to me, because it meant a lot to her!

    Song for Latese
    When God made blonds and brunettes
    The task was easy you see
    He just used black and white for them
    But he chose something different for me
    He took the red and he took the gold
    Autumn leaves and grass in the spring
    He mixed them together to color my hair
    And he gave me eyes of green
    So people call me different
    And I guess it's plain to see
    But what we have in common is
    That God made red.
    God made blue
    God made brown
    Made yellow, too
    Yes what we have in common my friend
    Is that God made me and you
