Lion's Tooth

I am soaring in the sky Watching birds fly by My parachute opens wide As downward I gently glide Finally I land on some soft grass And I become rooted to the spot, alas I will bask in the sun's glow As my leaves spread out and grow I am no longer a youth And my leaves are looking like a lion's tooth! I am usually found very close to the ground But soon I will be upward bound And atop my stem, with a yellow flower I am crowned It won't be long before the wind makes me fly And once more I will soar in the sky! 4-6-19 Dandelion Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier

After reading the first line, I knew I would be captivated. Soaring in the sky, this is how I feel every day. :) "It won't be long before the wind makes me fly" I am there in the moment. This is so beautiful and uplifting. I wish to place this in my favorites. Keep soaring Joseph. ~ Brandy
