Heaven's Servant - Grasses

Heaven’s Servant The grass of the earth The King of Heaven generously gave People to enjoy Kentucky Bluegrass nice lawn, nutritious hay, Timothy grass highly cultivated and seed easily harvested Stock cattle, sheep, and horses healthily eat by day in sun’s ray. Long ago Yeshûa? sat 5,000 men, besides women and children, on grassy comfortable ground Enjoying bread with fish on perhaps Buffalo grass ‘Bulbilis’ or Festuca sheep’s fescue, Maybe Velvet grass growing in coast regions carpeted the banquet of truth lovers; Or was it Orchard grass adapted to drier soils The LORD of the vineyard gave rescue. The lion shall eat straw like the ox; will it be young and tender ‘Hordeum’ Squirrel-tail grass? Perhaps the lion will like the 15 foot or higher Reed grass to jump and pounce, Meadow Fescue grass could be the lucky one to grow green for the king of the jungle, Teosinte tropical plant related to corn ‘maize’ may be the one relished every ounce. “And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass,” and this is nice Ornamental grasses grace beautiful gardens, striped variety of Reed, Bamboo Ribbon grass and Ravenna grass of Italy graceful show, Pampas grass of the Argentine pampas, ornamental grasses give the lead. Coastal grasses grow comfortable in sand, ‘Ammophila’ beach grass sand-binding, Canadian Bluegrass sand binder pasture grass on sandy loam soils, holds tight Shore grasses warm the hearts of beach combers looking at marram, Beachside craggy bait shop enjoys uneven beach grass, as a kite flies in beautiful height. Job’s tears ornamental grass shows remembrance of Job long ago, Beauty now radiates from Coix lachrymal-jobi inspiring life enduring living, Alive cheerfully Uniola exceedingly graceful most beautiful of the grasses, Zizania wild rice grass most striking in appearance happy in giving. Vanilla grass Savastana odorata sweet grass fragrant mats and boxes Wonderful to smell and hold useful for storing wheat to save for vanilla cake, Various grasses grow for our sake, millet, Redtop, Bermuda, Avena, Johnson grass, Italian Rye grass, and many more grasses, a beautiful world left in its wake.
