Dandelions and Roses
Feet padding on moss covered ground
Eyes looking for beauty all around
Little eyes sparkling with glee
dropping down on bended knee
reaching out to touch the top
something in her made her stop
told once that it is just a weed
Beautiful roses are what you need
Who makes the rules she wonders aloud
Feeling the shadow of a crossing cloud
Beauty lies there for all to love and see
It only requires letting your mind be free
The hardest lands have blues, greens and reds
wildflowers everywhere in pretty natural beds
Roses slowly loose their bloom and beautiful hue
But the colors remain on mountains covered in dew
My ancestors walked this land and knew we are one
One with all that lives on this land shined on by the sun
No matter how you looked, the view was grand
That is until others started taking all the land
Roses need human touch to survive and grow
The earth only requires us to look and enjoy the show
Reaching out a small hand to the dandelion she saw
A beautiful art pieces that only nature can draw

Always pity those who have never padded barefooted on soft moss – velvety emerald stars.
