Popping up free all over the place
Bright as the joy on a child's face
Golden yellow like a wedding ring
Where they appear you know it's spring
Fields as white as your grandfather's hair
Windborne seeds distribute here and there
Planting more flowers for you and me
Flowers everywhere for all to see
Dandelion's root is tough as nails
Everyone who tries to kill it fails
Grumpy curmudgeons all hate its guts
Well if you ask me they're just plain nuts
Incidentally, I've written music for these lyrics, and the result is almost more cheerful and upbeat than I can take. I feel like I need to write something sad or "down" now, just to get back on an even keel. (Maybe I'm just weird.)
