“Dandelions don’t tell no lies.” Mick Jagger
Let us praise the earth today —
The giant sequoia trees.
The crashing ocean waves.
The snow-capped mountains.
The dandelions.
The dandelions?
The brightest yellow Earth has to offer.
Scent of new grass and lemon peel.
Soft as a baby’s fist.
Easily plucked.
Tough to dig out.
Despised by gardeners.
Beloved by bees.
Sturdy pioneer,
fulfill your promise:
Spring has returned,
and so have I.
“I have lost my smile. But do not worry. The dandelion has it.” Nhat Hanh
