a s m i l e was on her face
as she picked the d a n d e l i o n
s o m e h ow dandelions always made her smile
and even though there were w o r r i e s
in the f u t u r e that belonged to her
she c h o s e to smile
because as she blew s o f t l y on that dandelion
she k n e w that it would all be fine
and s o m e h o w
that d a n d e l i o n
that she held b e t w e e n her fingers
managed to give her h o p e
managed to give her h o p e
to c a r r y on.
there are meanings in little things. I see dandelions as a signal of hope.
