Alesia Leach - Grass

I missed you while you were away,
sleeping deeply under the snow.
Now, I can run barefoot through your soft blades
and I bet you are glad it's not so cold.
I sit and watch you sway in the breeze
and look forward to planting flowers and getting green knees.
I love your smell after you have been freshly mowed,
it reminds me to take life a little slow.
I love your smell after the rain,
it reminds me not to take life in vain.
