How Green the Grass

This one was actually a surprise to me. I'd forgotten about it. I'm quite glad I found it again because I really, really like it. I'm going to have to remember the tune because I remember really loving that as well. 

If there ever was a poem that I thought described me, it would be this one. It's my journey, but also the nature? Sky? The birds? Flying? Imagination. That's was me. My dreams. My soul. Still is. Funny that hasn't changed in a decade.  

How Green the Grass - Fall 2013

 Chorus

Remember how green the grass was?

Remember how blue the sky?

Remember you watched the birds

and wished that you could fly?

First Verse

But now it's gone.

The world is black around you.

You cannot see

 the things imagination grew.

Your path is set,

one long strip of brick and mortar.

Your eyes are straight,

ahead so you can't see

the love and beauty.

Chorus

Remember how green the grass was?

Remember how blue the sky?

Remember you watched the birds

and wished that you could fly?

Second Verse

So open up

and see the world around you.

Then you will see

the seeds imagination blew.

Your path winds on

a field of flowers and sunshine.

Your eyes rove up

and round so you can see

the love and beauty.

Chorus

Discover how green the grass is.

Discover how blue the sky.

Look up and watch the birds

and dream that you can fly.

Third Verse

Help others see

the things that they've been wanting

and you will see

 the seeds you planted bloom.

The world's a field

of people needing love now.

Keep lifting up,

give aid, and you will be

love and beauty.

 Chorus

Show them how green the grass is.

Tell them how blue the sky.

Help them watch the birds

and believe that they can fly.

Be love and beauty.
