The Dandelion

The dandelion sat along on the hill watching the rose's play. He asked to join the fun and games; is it all right if I stay? The rose's said, you can not play, for you are not one of us. Go back to your hill to your grassy clump, and don't you make a fuss. For we are tall with our beautiful stems and nicely shaped leaves. Our petals are grand, the best in the land, so stay away you weed. A beautiful flower, tall and grand, you are, the dandelion sighed. Your petals are grand, the best in the land, but i'd rather be pretty inside. For the rose's and their beauty so grand, will fade and wither with time, but the dandelion's beauty within, is one thing that will never die. :0)
