You Grew On Me; And All Around Me Too.

Hello

there my sweet dandelion.

Did you know,

that you caught me off guard?

 

Your

subtle uniqueness 

drew quite a crowd,

but it was nothing

compared to how you seeded my yard.

 

At first,

I was uneasy.

Quite skeptical, at best.

But soon after that

I found out--

you weren't like the rest.

 

For I soon knew,

each seed that you threw

found somewhere;

and grew.

Their roots grabbed the warm soil, 

and anchored in me too.

 

So,

baby,

gardenweed;

now that you've claimed

my plot of grass

for you seeds--

I will make sure that my soil fits all of your needs,

because my yard without you

is like a pesticide sea.

The poet has a yard full of dandelions! Most people hate them, but this poet found worth in resilient little yellow flowers; the pretty weeds, her love and she the sustaining earth, that he might grow.

I have a fondness for daisies; I even mow around clumps of the wild ones that grow in my yard.

I love this write, charly
