The Peaceful Morning

A short story.. Tell me if you can tell what the object is. I literally put this together in 15 minutes, so it's probably not the best I could do. Hope you still like it. Criticism is always welcome.
The gentle raindrops, tickled my skin. Delicately coming down from the sky. I loved mornings like this, when the cloudy skies let the rain fall down to the earth. It's peaceful and calming, always putting me in a good mood.

I could distinctly feel the water absorb into my smooth skin. Giving my body vital energy and nutrition. Making me feel alive. Any other day I'd feel dry and parched. Because of the sun continuously beating down on me.

My good mood had too abruptly end. The lightning started. I really didn't have any reason to fear it. However I did not like seeing my friends, the trees, get hurt. As they sometimes would.

If I could be anything in the world, I'd still be what I am. I wouldn't be human. I need water too survive like them, and I have veins coursing through me too. What does it matter if I can't walk or talk like them? My life is peaceful and that's all that matters too me. What am I? Well that's a good question... I'm a single blade of grass.
Could you tell what it was before I told you?
Yes.
I was close..
Nope.
No, it took me completely by surprise.
