Grass

Vibrant green poking through the dark soil

Blades reaching up to the sunlight

Regular trimming does nothing to inhibit its growth

Vibrant green glistening in the early morning dew

Hiding the creatures that crawl in and out of its stalks

Supporting intricate spiderwebs being woven back and forth

Vibrant green cushioning our feet

Squashed under our heavy footsteps as we walk along

Bouncing back to stand erect once again

Vibrant green feeding our livestock

Chewed by beasts as they graze all day long

Turning nutrients into human food

Vibrant green blooming between paths of concrete

Creating lawns for children and dogs to play

Giving hope that there is still life in the urban jungle

Vibrant green covering the hillsides

Giving our eyes a pleasant, restful feast

Reminding us how good it feels to be alive

What would our world be like without grass?
