THE GRASS WAVED IN THE BREEZE
Grass is nonliving and waved is the human characteristic.
In a meadow green and wide,
A willow tree stands with pride.
Its branches sway in the breeze,
Like a gentle hug from the trees.
Leaves like teardrops, soft and green,
Whisper secrets, yet unseen.
Roots reach deep into the ground,
Anchoring it safe and sound.
So next time you’re out to play,
Find a willow on your way.
Say hello to this old friend,
And listen to the stories it can send!
