A grass led life
Did you ever see a Suns ray beaming on a hill
Beaming without knowing it was causing such a thrill
The thrill to see the beauty, the beauty of the green
The lush and green grass, the lushest I’ve ever seen
Beaming, beaming brightly lighting up the glory
The glory of the growing grass, can it maybe tell a story
A story of the picnic blankets it’s lain under keeping warm
Listening to the chitter chatter of lovers soon to be sworn
The grass can tell some stories, of people passsing by
Of sitting under yonder tree, some people sometimes cry
Cry of missing loved ones, cry of tired old legs,
Cry of not really knowing will life even bring any dregs
The grass can tell a story of the shiny, slimy worm
That wriggles far beneath it, sometimes tickling with a squirm
Grass tells of all the footsteps that press it down some days
Then the gardener who comes and waters, bringing out a raise
Oh grass you are so lovely, you smell so nice when cut
Do tell us all your stories of life led under foot
Do you enjoy just being green, just being one two and three
Enjoying being a cushioned floor to sit on for you and me.
