I logged onto my blog today staring at my tagline. My Life, My Story, and thought: Why don’t I write something about myself. And after much consideration, here is my poem about my favourite colour: GREEN
.
GREEN
As soft as grass, and as crunchy as the Granny Smith
Swaying in the breeze on Hawaii’s shore
Bright when young, and dark when old, on the leaves of the Bracken Fern
.
Found at Christmas amidst the snow
Hanging on houses street on street
Up high and down low lighting the night
Like a spirit glowing bright
.
On the bottle beside the BBQ
Fuelling hot summer nights
Telling people to go, and drive away
Controlling traffic on busy streets
.
Kermit the Frog may also be green
But most of all its to signify
That we care
We care about the environment
We care about the air we breathe
We care about the water we drink
We care about the food we eat
We care about OUR future
.
Staying on the topic of caring for the future, I saw a quote on the back of a SUV that I later found out was from Hendrix:
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace” – J. Hendrix
The world will not only see peace, but everything else we try to stop and create will be within reach. There won’t be as much gangs, crime, wars, etc. There will be friendships between former enemies, and the world will have more tolerance, to just name a few benefits.
