Spring: Dandelion

I’ve seen you in the pavement cracks

And growing by the tin-roof shacks

You lace the hills and edge the dales

And cast your net of feathered veils

 

I’ve heard a girl say you were smoke

And there’s a boy thought you were broke

Your face I’ve touched, so soft and light

And with each wish you’ve taken flight

 

I’ve seen you ride upon the breeze

And there are insects that you tease

But with each journey that you make

You spread the joy of give-and-take

 

I’ve heard you called a simple weed

And much besides, but don’t take heed

So much in nature’s whole and true

But nothing’s perfect quite like you
