Mama Dandelion

She was a great mama Her seeds fly off in many directions Dispersing themselves in farms, gardens, meadows Some attach to cattails next to ponds She feels confident Her seeds know what to do They are ready; fully prepared She watches them go, knowing she did her best How many other dandelions can say this? Her husband says, “How can you watch them go?” I am proud of it, she says. Glad I was woman enough to prepare them for the world.
