 I Sauntered Alone Along The Walk Way

(a tribute to the humble Dandelion) by Alan Ewing

 

 

I sauntered alone, along the walk way

All at once, a sight brightened my day

For there, they were, a sight to behold

Their yellow shining in the sun like gold

 

They really took my breath away

It felt that they had a lot to say

They shimmered in the slightest breeze

Giving the eye so much to please

 

Unheralded, as they line our paths

Never worthy of a glance

But to me they are life itself

Who could wish for anything else?

 

And so I make my case for them

As flowers bloom upon their stem

Who is to cast them as a weed?

When God has scattered such a seed

 

Beautiful Dandelion, flowers so bright

To live life you have every right

To bring beauty into concrete misery

You mean everything to me
