A Blade of Grass

Straight
Strong
Wind of time blows me around
Green I am
Thin; Fit
Resistant to storms
To heat
To snow

My roots are strong
I stand up straight
I hold my weight
I love
I care
I feel you within
I feel you around me
Like a blanket of protection
Of caring

You can cut me down
I will grow back
Strong; I will multiply
I will spread
I will never go away
I will love forever
I will always be in your heart

I might look dead
In the cold of night
In the cold of winter
But I am alive
I am well
I will be back
In the season of spring
in the season of the heat
In the season of the rain
Of the drops

That leave their impression
On the skin of earth

I am a blade of Grass
