My Favorite Greens

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for bouncy green parrots,
moss, and mint ice cream,
firm green limes,
green toenail polish.

Blessed are You
for green smoothies and green tea,
guacamole on yellow corn chips,
green apples and green beans,
zucchini sautéed with Portabellos.

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe;
green was, I suppose, Your idea—
humans with green eyes,
frogs with green bodies,
lily pads and spinach,
tropical green fish—
these are a few of my favorite greens.
