Are you
Facing a rock
Being seen as unwanted
Seeing your chance for wishes
Cut down
Before
They had the opportunity to
Become airbourne
Never give up
Stand firm
Dig in
Let your faith grow
Deep, be tenacious, for
Someday, someone will stop
Admire
And see
Your beauty and your true worth
For we all have a purpose
That’s waiting to be
Fulfilled

Today as I was out walking I stopped near this big rock where I saw two dandelions blooming and one that had gone to seed lying down on the ground as if crushed, probably by the landscapers mower hitting it.
It intrigued me enough to snap a picture and also was inspiration for this poem.
Good one Leona. I have a friend who I haven’t seen for a very long time, but when she came to Canada from Guyana, she had never seen dandelions before and when she saw them in such profuse blossoming she thought they were beautiful. It’s true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And though I may not know what it is, I am sure the dandelion has some purpose in God’s economy or He wouldn’t have created it. And they are very colorful and attract attention.
It reminds me of this quote “If no one had ever seen a flower, even a dandelion would be the most startling event in the world.” Not sure who said that but it’s true!
Personally, I have always thought God created Dandelions for the children to pick as free bouquets for their mothers. 😊
Sounds quite reasonable!
