GRASS SHACK

THE LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN THE DELL,

IS A HAVEN FOR ALL WHO NEED

A PLACE TO REST, AND DO IT WELL,

IT HAS ALMOST GONE GO SEED

FROM LACK OF CARE AND LACK OF LOVE,

AS MOST ANYTHING WOULD DO.

BUT NOW I'M HERE TO LOOK AFTER IT,

AND I AM INVITING YOU TO COME TOO.

THE SHACK NEEDS MUCH REPAIR

TO IT'S ROOF AND IT'S WALLS.

THE WINDOWS NEED REPLACING,

AND THE DOOR IS ABOUT TO FALL.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A PERSON

ALMOST, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

FOR WE CAN GET INTO DISREPAIR

AND SLOWLY FADE AWAY.

BUT WE SHALL CARE FOR THIS SHACK

AS IT TAKES CARE OF US TOO.

IT SHALL PROTECT US FROM RAIN AND WIND,

AND THE HOT SUNSHINE, AND THE DEW.

WE SHALL MAKE HER LOVELY AGAIN,

AS THE NEWLY BLOOMING FLOWERS,

AND WHEN SHE IS ALL ANEW

WE SHALL ADMIRE HER FOR HOURS.

SHE RESPONDS AS A WOMAN, I THINK,

FOR WHEN WE MAKE HER LOOK SO GOOD,

SHE WILL SHOW US ALL OF HER LOVE,

BY PROTECTING US AS SHE SHOULD.

THE LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN THE DELL

HAS DREAMED OF LOOKING GOOD AGAIN.

SHE HAS FELT UNLOVED, AND NOT WELL,

UNTIL WE CAME HERE AS HER FRIENDS.
