Greener Grass
They say that the grass is greener
On the other side.
From where I stand
With my gaze focused over there
I see no difference.
The green looks the same,
Maybe even a little hint
Of yellow in their grass.
They say that the grass is greener
On the other side.
But, I’m happy on my side.
I’m happy with my small
Patch of green.
That deep vibrant color that
Almost looks black at times.
Even though it is said that
The grass is greener
On the other side,
I’ll stick with my little,
Loving, happy and always
Well-watered
Green patch of this world.
