Dandelion

I started out life, looked like a flower, then as a fluffy seed

Puffs got me to fly, with all the power to catch a passing breeze

I drifted around like butterflies doing their airborne dances

Was blown up and down, felt so alive, ducking the pear tree branches

I said, Look at me floating as free as a bird

When the wind dies down, I'll fall to the earth

I'll soak up rainwater then bask in sunshine

To look like I ought-a, a yellow dandelion

Looked for open space hoping to head where it was nice and muddy
