A Dandilion Flower

While walking my little Zoey today

I noticed an abundance of Dandilions along the way

Seeing them brought back many memories of

My young children bringing me a bouquet of

Dandilions. .

They would be so happy to loving give me 

The beautiful flowers they had found.

Children think Dandilions are flowers

And somehow we, myself included, think of them as

Obnixious Weeds. .

I picked a few Dandilions

And I brought them home and put them in little

Old blue Vasaline jars. .

I looked at them through my childish eyes. .

The bright yellow flower head

Is strikingly beautiful, vibrant and eye- catching.

My young children could see the beauty in the

Dandilion, when I was blinded by my thoughts of it

Being a Weed. .

Hmmm, is there a lesson to be learned here?

I suppose there is, just as in most simple moments of life

There is a gentle reminder.

Possibly the lesson is

  All God's creations

Have a place in this wonderful world

Sometimes we loose our wonder and imagination.

We can not see the beauty beyond our

Pre-conceived prejudices. . .

I want to have eyes to see

Beyond my own understanding

I want to see

Beautiful Yellow Dandilions

I will be linking to these fabulous blogs
