YEARly TEARing (PPOW)

The earth in all its glory at this time of the year

paints early morning sketches that sometimes bring a tear

Pearly little dewdrops cling so wearily

on grass blades bending over, drooping fearfully

For fall is rearing its fearsome head to the summer plants held dear

they know they have to go soon and will return next year

But all the same it happens, when the earth just changes gears

so quickly it seems, to plant life, cool weather just appears

So the changes on earths canvas, bear beauty that we see

but if we were a blade of grass, how fearful would we be

The green that makes them beautiful is about to  disappear

that yearly change sends a message filling hearts with tears

So the grass blade still wearing green.  with early dew hanging on so tight

really knows what's going to happen,  but still yearns for one more night

So when we swear about the summer heat and wish that fall would soon appear

Remember the dear little green grass blades, time is nearing, brown, they'll wear
