Green

How come I am so fond of nature, while she is hurting me constantly

The stinging nettle stings my fingers, keeps me itching for several days
The goutweed is covering my soil and I get a backache from sitting on my knees to pull it out
The sorrel grows bigger every year so I get a headache by only looking
Shells of walnuts paint my hands brown, getting them coarse when I scrub hard
The heavy clay soil brakes my nails when I dig a hole to put in new plants
And then the roses…
They always scratch my hands, arms and legs till the blood comes out leaving little scars

How come I am so fond of nature, I will tell you straight away my friends

The stinging nettle provides me for soup and delicious little pancakes
The goutweed and sorrel just want me to show their overwhelming blossoms
Tthe walnuts gives me delicacies and its shells a pigment to dye the wool
The clay soil just tells me to be gentle
And the roses….?
Ahhhh, the smell of roses carry me to paradise
When they bloom in all their variety of colours and shapes

So honestly my dear friends, I wouldn't have it any other way
