As the Grass Grows

As The Grass Grows
David J Walker

Protector of everything
		Growing
In a backyard garden 
		Knowing
The heartless grass will 
Take over 
In an afternoon left
		Unattended
Grass grows 
		As the wind blows
Everywhere and 
		Nowhere
And no one knows 
why or where 
it is wanted
And unwanted all	
		At once
As the guardian of 
		The garden
I am tasked to watch even
		The grass grow
And no matter how slow
		We will say
Too fast
