Some greens are not,
They carry proudly,
Another colour shot.
For these leafy lovelies
Can be toned down
Almost to brown,
Or lifted by light
With streaks of white.
So what does this depend upon?
Is it the light and shade
The Creator has brilliantly made

Variety as is found in green
In all its sheen of leafy loveliness.
Lord, where would Creation’s Story be without the green of leafy loveliness? I do not want to imagine! Amen.
