The Dandelion

The dandelion’s a noble flower not a scraggy little weed. it holds it head up proud and high, born of a hardy seed. It claims the ground it stands on and makes itself at home. Though when it spreads its family, on winds of change they roam. Its family is the strongest of the wild flowers to be found and set down roots to flourish in any type of ground. It not always gets a welcome so these roots are buried deep and those who try to move it find most parts of it they’ll keep. So ponder on its beauty as it stands so proud and tall, with golden head pronouncing it’s the strongest flower of all!
