Dandelion Creed - a poem

Be like a dandelion,

Stand tall, stay bright.

You’ll bend in the storm but reach for the light.

They’ll call you a weed, try to pluck you away,

But you were built for the cracks so dance in the rain. 

Most won’t see your roots run deep,

They’ll judge your bloom when you’re fighting to keep,

A piece of the sky, a patch of the sun,

You’ve always been many things wrapped in one.

You’re softness and steel, wild and wise,

A stubborn bloom they still criticize.

But you aren't here to just fit in,

Be confident, be unique and never give in.
