blades of grass

i walked right out my front door

to learn from natures floor

the dirt the streets and the sidewalk

they say so much yet they don't talk

& what my toes touched last

the blades of grass

taught me how to grow 

to let the sun run the show

focus on the shine 

& this lovely earth of yours, and mine

my pops told me 

long ago

that some folks 

just think they know

all about life

its thoughts 

its rhymes 

its story times

and we cant last

but they are wrong 

and i love you

so please come too

as times goes on this world will change 

but our love will stay the same

but then one day we will die

and watch our souls will fly

and there will lay our hands are grasped 

in the blades of grass
