GREEN APPLES




Just one apple from the tree…
And the greenest one was me,
I thought if I could hit the ground,
That I could soar and not be bound.

Before I ripened, I was free,
And now it is the ground I see,
I didn’t stay to drink the sun…
But from the tree I made a run.

Now let me tell you what I’ve found,
You soon turn brown when on the ground,
So stay awhile with the others…
With your sisters and your brothers.

For when you’re brown and lose your gloss….
You soon turn into applesauce.
