Dandelions

Dandelions so yellow and bright
Popping up from the grass like stars in the night
Dandelions a sure sign spring is here
Reminding us the heat of summer is near
Dandelions some think are only just weeds
But to others dandelions have many useful needs
Dandelion greens in salads are very yummy
Sauté them with onions and peppers to fill your tummy
Dandelions are used by some to make wine
Then they drink it all up and have a fine time
Dandelions look cheerful against the grass so green
They make me feel lazy and want to just sit and dream
Dandelions turn white when they are ready to die
Then you blow on the seeds and watch them fly
Dandelions will grow where these seeds have landed
They don’t even need to be replanted
Dandelions to me are a cheery useful flower
Not weeds some think are very dull and dour
