The Joy of Dandelions

Fallen stars 'tween emerald grass

dancing in rhythm to a gentle breeze

sun kissed golden drops of honey

growing wild and free with such ease

Such splendor to be found in the field

treasured gems dipped in golden hue

spread freely through thousands of wishes

not quite dry from the morning dew

In the face of nature's majesty

sweet laughter echoes on sunny days

bouncing off nature's lap of beauty

as she graces us in her charming ways

Ephemeral flower in disguise

admired for its whimsical allure

so precious, playful and witty

unassuming and oh, so demure

Springtime flower of life and purpose

scatters silently its seeds in the breeze

some become playful children's wishes

others become future havens to bees
