Green


I used to hate the color green

Such an unpleasant color, I thought

Blue is soft and delicate

Yellow is bright and happy

Red is strong and powerful

Green is gross

Well, everything is bad until you find a reason to love it, I guess

My reason was the trees

As I sat on the green grass 

Readying myself to look up at the beautiful blue sky

I was interrupted by a tree branch

So I decided to examine it for a minute

I noticed how each leaf is a slightly different shade from the one before

And when you start noticing the brush strokes

You can't help but fall in love with the painting

As I looked around at the trees surrounding me

Green became nature

It became life

Prosperity, and fun

It became a message

to me, to you, to the world

That there's always something

About everything

To love
