Sometimes, I wonder …
How come people like these green things we see?
It has leaves, with colors of green
They can turn murky brown, like the dirt on the ground
These green things can change their colors
When Autumn comes, and Summer is gone
It is strange, to see these green things grow
From the ground we step on
The funny thing is, all these green things ARE NOT MINE
Someone else made them, from a tiny seed
Because I use to think, maybe…
We can make them out of paprika, flour, pepper, or salt?
It turns out, the green things we see
Are the little green plants we need
To help us live in this planet we live on
And to help mother nature get stronger
Now, we can buy these plants, in a small cute pot
To help it grow and properly placed
I hear, the more plants we plant, means…
The more rain comes down, down, down
These green things can grow up
From that tiny seed to a fully grown tree!
Sometimes I see these green trees dance in the wind
When no one is aware
Some green things can even help people heal
While other green things we see are just BEAUTIFUL
These green things we see can bloom and grow
Blossoming into flowers, like roses, zinnias, and peonies
These green plants ARE something to build on
To help our lives and relax our minds
If the green things we see disappear,
Then oxygen will go away, too
People can't breathe properly, when we only need
To just splash some water on a tree
The world will become crowded
With green angry monsters, instead of green trees
We truly need these green things we see
Because, the green things we see help animals live
Like tiny aphids, pretty butterflies, and cute ladybugs
Or little snails, fat caterpillars, and swinging monkeys
I am now more aware, of why
People love the green things we see
Sold at the nearby stores, nurseries, and little markets
Groceries, local farms, and even in the computer
We need little green plants, for beautification
Of our minds, and to help us feel ALIVE
And …
One day, I too want to grow,
Like the green things we see
To become a fully grown tree
Strong, solid, and rooted to the soil
Growing tall, reaching the sky,
And I will be so surprised …
Am I just as beautiful, as the green things we see?
I will keep these green things in my memory
Of how I am also like a little tree
Then for some reason, I become beautiful,
just like the green things I see
The end.
Just write.
