There were always <br />green things in my life: <br />small wild flowers, <br />Lilac bushes, <br />arboretums <br />where lovers walked <br />and children came to play, <br />forests edging round a lake <br />where we would go on Sundays. <br /> <br />And loving so these wild things, <br />I planted in my yard a forest too, <br />which now, full grown, <br />repays me <br />with its healing.<br /><br />June Stepansky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/exploring-happiness-9-green-things/
