A single blade of grass,
Amid many a tall bluebell.
Here in nature's woodland,
What stories can it tell.
Of raindrops falling on it,
The creatures it has seen.
Or bathing in the warmth,
Of a summer's hot sunbeam.
Oh! Single blade of grass,
How sad must be your plea.
Without the company of others,
As green as you can be.
Then autumn starts to blow,
With seeds upon its breeze.
That gently land around you,
And put your mind at ease.
Spring returns as promised,
As you view the ground below.
And smile at what you see,
As the grass begins to grow.

I'm so glad you found this one Rose Marie and I'll tell you a secret. I got the inspiration for it after reading Dylan Thomas's amazing and captivating Fern Hill in the second line he writes 'happy as the grass was green. And this is the result.
