BLADE  OF  GRASS

Lord, if I were a blade of grass,

I hope I’d  like the color green.

If I were a blade of grass, I hope

I’d stand tall, shine, enjoy both

the night and the day, enjoy the

rain, the snow, the sun and the

feet of those who step on me -

especially kids either with a kite

or tossing a Frisbee or having a

catch with their dad – before I die
getting a crew cut on a summer evening.
