Green

Green is the grass that grows in spring The new leaves of the trees And of course emeralds are green too… What a lovely bounty this rustic scene In the harvesting place where farmers glean There people have planted corn and beans. Pears are sweet straight from the trees Granny smith apples and the best are yet; The mint from the garden for jellies and tea Mmm so delicious to me I love the feel of soft green lace On my sea spray gown The crisp leaves of collards Sprouting from the ground, so springy is the feel of string beans ~ Oh, green can make you feel brand new, Jealous green can get you in trouble too; Most of all, green is the color of life so true.
