Grass Stain

There is no turning back

I’ve fallen into the grass

My knee is red and sore

But it doesn’t hurt at all

We are playing outside

We are never to be parted

You are always with me

My knee will never heal

We are a great team

And forever we will be

There is no turning back

As a child I was changed

By jump rope and playground games

A note passed in a classroom

A scrape across my knee

A handprint on my heart

There is no turning back

And I wouldn’t if I could.
