Flower Or Weed

I am the yellow blossom, the first sign of spring I am food for insects, full of minerals and vitamin C My petals dry out revealing my many seeds You shout out it must be a weed! You blow the seeds across the field, And with just a gust of wind The partnership is sealed You made a miracle begin My life isn't over its only just begun Next I'll sprout and grow my leaves So I can capture the energy from the sun Once the seeds settle and take root Not even winter can influence the absolute After the snow melts and the rain begins to fall I return with the spring You shout It's a Flower after all! For I am not a weed so let me stand tall I am a dandelion The strongest perennial of them all
