The emerald eyes of grass
So slowly the years did pass
Watching the intimate, intricate
Marvelous intervals of growth
To it all my heart does revere
To it all I shed a myriad tear
Thinking back upon the past
The memories--how they did last
Life is too fast
When we're not together
Afterthought: Once upon a time (~2002-2003), I was looking through the stuff, on my shelf, in my room. I found this poem and, at the time, I was like, "I wrote this? I do not remember writing this..." Right around that time (the drafting date), however, was one of the most...painful times in my life and, yet, one of the best--because of how I came through the experience. Specifically, how God brought me through it. Praise God. Praise Jesus!
