I look out over the croquet lawn,
It is so different now,
Now that the rain has fallen.
The sparse, dry, yellow ground
Has at last started to live
As the green come back to the earth.
I look around at Nature
And its glory is abounding
As its richness returns
Bringing so much beauty,
So much beauty to my life.
That green will change again
But this time for the better,
As Nature’s artwork become filled,
Filled with yellows, oranges and reds,
With Autumn’s absolute beauty
And leading me to live,
To live with Nature’s wonder,
With Nature’s wonder around me,
Around me for another year.

Wait until the grass grows up to your knees
And the croquet balls go slicing;
Let nature follow a preordained course
Not a croquet game sacrificing.
I truly hope it works out for you (us) Andy, but I ain’t holding my breath….
Thank you Dave. When I first started playing croquet I was with a group who played on a local park and the grass was a variable length so that one day I hit the black ball and lost it in the grass. LOL
Life will work out for us Dave, just keep moving forward into it.
