I am the ground


I am made of hard stone grass,
colorful tiles, slippery ice and humus wood.
My home is in all places on the earth.
I am amazing because everyone absolutely adores me.
My family is every single green or blue thing on the earth-
shiny diamonds, slippery fish, trees, candy and sand.
I am afraid of the horrible scary builders.
I dream about someday being a lovely person
black or white.
Today I am covered with snow.
But tomorrow I will be wet green grass
that smells sweet when mowed.
