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.
