Dandelion

Dandelion
			By Elaine Roy

They call me a weed
I'm not pretty like any flower 
Just only in a child eyes;for they always want to find me
Adults call me , a pain in the neck and tried to get rid of me
For only children want me
They see me and they make wishes on me
I make children smile and keep their dreams alive
I may not smell pretty, like a rose 
For I keep children hopes and dreams alive
So, you see even a weed, like a dandelion, has a special purpose
Never stop making wishes, you'll find I'm always here
I'm just wait, for you!

Reminds me of the hit song by the Rolling Stones back in the sixties. Some people eat dandelion leaves in salads. Good write.
