DON'T STEP ON THE GRASS

There used to be a sign posted:
"Don't Step on the Grass"
But you couldn't help but be tested
Yearning rest in its field as you pass

If you couldn't step on it
Of course you're not able to lay there
You couldn't get where it's shaded
You couldn't reach the pretty flowers

But the owner decided to leave
And the area was provided to you
More than eager to gratefully receive
Finally able to lay in its fruity blooms

Now the final question remains
How long are you willing to stay?
