Dandelion Faerie

Dandelion Faerie was the best dandelion wisp collector in the meadow
She could capture them almost before they floated off
She brought most of them back, replanting them for the next season
What about the ones that escape? Lily faerie asked.

If I cannot retrieve them, it means they were not meant to be here.
They are meant for another meadow, for another elf or faerie.
Lily faerie was amazed by her positive attitude. 
Wow! She said, so there is no resentment that they escaped?

I let them go easily, willing them to impregnate another meadow.
Lily Faerie plucked out her petals and threw them into the air.
Hoping they would also go forth and multiply,
not understanding that they would not as they were not seeds.

Yep, sometimes we simply have to let some of the best things in our lives go. They are seeds for another meadow! Love this!
