Dandefluff 2

In a field of time, remote,
I'm destined to forever float.
Once, I was sure-footed,
youthful and firmly rooted 
until a little girl went "puff",
and now I'm only dandefluff.

As time marched on, aloof,  
a little girl went "poof".  
Skies, like hair, turned to grey,
and a dandelion had her day, 
but, in memory, I ring true,
in a sunlit sky of blue.
