Green as the forest

Green, brown, maroon

there are different types 

they can be big and small, tall and short 

As they gasp at their beauty 

Even when wet it still glimmers 

As little children splash in the puddles 

The rain drops into the soil as it soaks it up

The cold air makes me shiver like a penguin on ice 

Growing as tall as buildings 

What grows on them is like the cherry on top 

People see this and think this is better than my porch or backyard

As the rain stops it drains into the gutters 

And the trees and shrubs are flourishing 

More beautiful than ever 

At last we can all go play outside 

Others think the rain is a sign of sadness

But it can be a sign of happiness as well.
