How many shades of green
Can one person see?
In your eyes I can only be
The one distant from the scene.

You gaze upon your side
For that serenity,
Peace and tranquility.
Your body and mind collide.

‘Tis its opposing forces
you must fight
the love that sheds the light
or the one of lusty sources.

Examine each carefully
my precious dear
the wrong choice will bring a tear
that time wont erase successfully.

As for me, I only see green
Regardless of the attempt
To hide my contempt
The envy can easily be seen.

I’m sorry if it causes confusion
And a hassle in your life
Please don’t show strife
For its not yours but my disillusion

How many shades of green
Can one person see?
Sadly the answer is hidden from me
For the answer has endless possibilities

(big hugggsssssss) The answer indeed has endless possibilities, but as long as we always believe in what our heart has to offer and share the love within, we can replace this envy with faith and comfort for us all! (sigh) BRAVO!!! You have met the challenge so wonderfully, I love it!!! (big hugggssssss) We all love you, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
