A dandelion, "Dee", sprouted in a field.
She loved her pleasant life in the sun and breeze,
But a "priest's crown" has but one season to play.
Her neighbor shocked her, and said, "Soon, you'll yield -
When a cruel lawnmower cuts us at our knees.
There's no chance a child will blow our seeds away".
One day a little girl said, "I need one more
For my necklace. Which one should I pick, of these?"
Dee straightened herself up, her head to display,
Better brave for beauty, than the mower's store.
Seize the day!
