Inspired by your sunny contrast

Waving yellows on beds of green

 many swear and curse your name oh Dandelion

As you grow on lawns so free

 I admire how you grow so vast

One flower lending to next year’s growth

Standing tall and proud by every blade of grass

in despite of the many roars and loath

A survivor one may call you

One that won’t go down without a fight

They may pluck you out and stomp you down

But your seeds have a lot of might

One family member can fill a field

When your seeds are ready to blow

just a gentle breath from one child’s wish

an all your seeds leap to the earth to sow

Yellow dandelion I adore you

Your flower, your wine and your seed

For you’ve made a wish or two of mine come true

To me you have beauty  and you are more than a lawn weed.
