Dandelions

Rose bouquet in hand

Field of bright dandelions

This too is beauty

The rose is catered to

Primped, primed, pruned

The dandelion is cursed at

Torn up, torn away, torn down

Don't we know

The rose and dandelion are no different

They both heal

The spirit, the mind, the soul, and the body
