I have a confession to make…
I love the lowly ‘lion’s tooth’ —
Or dandelion.
They grow in fields and gardens
Like cheery suns
Or radiant sparks of light
That have fallen from heaven.
And if you’ve ever rolled in
Dandelion-studded grass,
Then you know that it’s like being
Kissed by golden suns.

I, too, think they make a sunny sight in fields of green! My mother had an ongoing war with them that she could never win and I couldn’t convince her they were beautiful golden gifts freely spreading joy. I used to love picking them as bouquets as a kid, but didn’t care for their sticky “milk” that got all over my fingers. And then, of course, there is the delightful fairy fluff when they go to seed..
