FOREVER GREEN
Green is the color that I truly love,
Green is the color that I often think of.
So precious of a sight to see
The tiny spouting inner leaf.

Just when I think that I have mastered “the know”
That is when it is time to grow
Just as the inner leaf has taken form
That is when I am forewarned

For to be fully grown is a master plan
When I am fully grown, I will be in HIS hands
For my work here will be done with toil and pride
And forever I will be by HIS side

But till then green is what I want to know,
When I am green, I will always grow.
I will seek out progress, and not perfection
For I will not know all, nor all the directions

Show me the way that HE would have me go,
For I have not the answers, nor do I know
To HIM I beg for knowledge and dream
That I will be Forever Green.
