For every shade of green
greeting sunlight in the lawn,
for cool dew on searching feet,
for bunnies that beckon us
up the length of driveway, inviting us
to play their innocent games,
for the unpredictable dance
between stillness and wind,
for sherbet sunsets and cameras that try
yet fail to capture the real color of light,
for the failing and the trying,
for the trying again, God, thank You.
