Dandelion to Bamboo
Hear her ROAR!

In the beginning, she thought it her journey alone
Struggling against massive odds, unmovable
by her puny arms, ready to die but not willing
to just survive anymore.
She inched forward, crawling from knee to knee
found others shucking off their yokes, longing to be free
regaining the Spring they had not seen
becoming the people they had not been.
She started as a dandelion that was
too tender for the frost. Today she stands freed
not an Oak or Maple, but quite the reed
the Bamboo you cannot bamboozle.
Hear her ROAR!
