GRASS & A MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM


I'm always on the move.
Surprise, eh!
But do you see the green stuff under my feet?


This makes me very HAPPY
much more than you know!


I swear I have a SMILE on my face as I trot through all these fledgling shoots of grass.


They are spreading across my world 
just like a Monet painting.


Deciding to stay out of my path
because they know we'll just trample them down ~~
not intentionally of course.


I'm dodging the blades of grass 
as I scramble along this soft path 
of last year's grasses ~~


as I try to find my favourite type of grass


even in amongst the wild strawberries


but I know the perfect clump of green sweetness


is in my backyard 


hiding quietly and unobtrusively


under the bows of my Star Magnolia tree.
