Dandelions

Dandelions

A Poem by Raspberry Rebel
"

My first bunch of flowers from my youngest daughter at the age of 2

"

There was a time when dandelions would be

a menace in my lawn of vivid green;

their seed pods bubbling like a foamy sea

would spoil its glossy pristine velvet sheen.

With sprays of every kind I would wage war

but nothing that I did could stop their spread,

those sunny little faces I abhor

would greet me when I rose up from my bed.   

Then one warm sunny morn, her fingers tight

with kiss curls and a grin she offered me,

a tiny gold bouquet, my heart took flight

the wonder on her face a joy to see.

Upon my table top her smile did stay

my weeding war solved by a child at play.

...but they grow up so quickly and move away... sigh

a timeworn tale of heart.
