You Grow Green Grass
I see most men as rocks compared to you,
Emotionless, shapeless, haven’t a clue;
You grow green grass all over their faces,
They’re beneath you in deep muddy places;
You’re a healthy green moss with nutrients,
You’re a rich carpet of ingredients;
You spread around lavish laughter and love,
You soak and give warmth from the sun above;
On a barren mountain of men you spread,
Spirit, wisdom; you cultivate the bed;
On hard, dull rock, which lies underneath you,
You paint green the gray, refresh and renew;
If only every man could be like you,
Spreading a rich carpet with all you do.
