DANDELION

The yellow and the white ones

Are the same flower

But both are considered weeds

And one is the lesser

Though it's actually spreading seeds

 

One is praised for its color

One dismissed as decay

Yet it is the white one

That carries tomorrow away

 

Seeds in the wind

Softly blowing away

What yellow began

Now sees light of day

 

Starting the cycle all over again

 

You may think you're a weed

Or the lesser of two

But when you are wilting

There's still growth left to do

 

Sometimes your seeds are carried away

What's planted right now, might not come today

Nothing you nurture is ever in vain

Even the loss, is preparing the gain
