Even the sturdiest blade of grass
can be trampled once too often
crushed beneath the uncaring boot
it will harden and never soften

So tread if you must upon my heart
shatter my trust like glass
but remember I am not a rock
I am but a blade of grass

True enough, but even the tenderest of grass always come back - and always is stronger.

Sharon, I understand this, so well. Once the trust is shattered, it is so hard to trust, again. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I distinctly remember a Karen Father story about breaking the plants to make them stronger...

and Duncan proved the story to be true..

Grass is stronger in numbers... Let there be lawns...It'll be turning green again in these parts very, very soon... Enough of that hibernation stuff...

I like your analogy, Sharon...

Yup, tender are your blades and deep and strong are your roots. A good analogy of you indeed. Peace.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

This looks like a keeper to send to those who practice "putdown humor" that one gets very weary of hearing. Thanks for putting this so beautifully. May I forward this with your blessing?
