Green is...

A cold mountain lake on a sunny day,

The first bud of spring poking through the dirt,

Trees shading us from the hot summer sun,

Apples in my yard before they ripen,

The hillsides of late spring,

The fourth color of the rainbow.

My favorite M & M,

The eyes of my cat, Boo.

So many greens:

Green energy

Green machine

Green tractor

Green beans

Green grapes

Green peppers

Green grass

Green thumb

Green light.

The Grinch and Kermit,

Emeralds and jade,

Lasers and Christmas lights,

Caterpillars and snakes,

Moss and seaweed,

Are all green.

Green can be nauseous,

Green can be envious,

Green can be rich,

And green can be peaceful.

More than anything,

I think that green is

Nature's way of giving us

The gift of serenity.

All we need to do is

Accept it.
