Literary (Submission): Grow
"To my heart. I am proud of what you have become. Always beat strong and true."
To take care
Of a dandelion
Is silly
But I have cared for one
Which was once a fragile bud
Trapped in a cruel storm
Which once considered itself
Only an undeserving weed
Which I found
Broken and wilting
And so
I did my best
To love it
To protect it
To nurture it
To give it strength
But to take care
Of a dandelion
Is silly
For it needs no care
As it is fragile
No more
For it needs no protection
As it can thrive
Anywhere it wishes
For it needs no nurturing
As it can do that
On its own
For it is stubborn
And
It is already stronger
Than I
Even so
I take solace
In the fact that
I have helped
Somehow
Hopefully
Maybe
-
Now
The time has come
For my dandelion
To bloom
To leave my sanctuary
That now
Only holds it back
And ride the breeze once more
With it goes
Hopes and dreams
That I once knew
With it goes
All my best wishes
So go, my proud dandelion
And go far
But know that everyday
I will pray to the winds
In the hopes that one day
They'll bring you back
To me
So that I may care for you once more
Even though
It is silly
