They say the grass is greener on the other side
I could say that's true..
but my grass, in my lawn
is as green as the lush forest
soft as moss
fragrant as the rose
sweet as honeysuckle

My across the street neighbor's
theirs is brown
desolate as the desert
rough to bare feet as rocks
stagnant as a dead pond
The grass may be greener on the other side
not theirs though
someone else's maybe
*but not as green as mine
