If I Could Be Anything

If I could be anything, I would be an enzyme.
Grown in dandelions as they are plentiful, and free,
And unappreciated now by some.
Maybe also I could be in clover.
A healing enzyme.

My catalytic action would be simply this.
I would retrain cancer cells to swallow,
Digest and eliminate themselves.
On a regular basis, daily, almost before
They got started.

So cancer would be eliminated by one drop
Of dandelion tea. That would be all that would
Be needed, and it might also be all one could
Stomach.

If I was an enzyme.

M. L. Kiser Date: 12/5/2018 10:20:00 AM I've used dandelion tea for years and I love fresh dandelion leaves in my salads. I'm always amazed at the number of people who don't know they can be eaten and made into tea. Wonderful.
