Bitter roots and flowers sweet
You drain out winter's darkness and clear out my toxic heat
A diuretic superstar
Your jagged leaves remind me that there's beauty in our scars
You're such a potent medicine for body, heart, and mind
How I long for early April when I witness fields explode with Dandelion

An Aries ram, energy unfurled
Fearless of a Springtime frost you burst into this world
Soft but tough, tenaciously alive
You push up through the concrete cracks and everywhere you thrive
Your energetic radiance sends shivers down my spine
How I treasure early April when I witness fields explode with Dandelion

Dandelion; your presence and your beauty is divine
Dandelion; reflecting back the Springtime's sunny shine

Your flowers leave a sphere behind
Comprised of parachuting seeds that make more dandelions
These magic seeds when gently blown
Dispurse our wishes to the wind and in the earth they're sewn
I'm endlessly impressed by your true elegant design
How I long for early April when I witness fields explode with Dandelion

I'll toss you in my salads and I'll drink you in my wine
So, have a happy April! Let's all witness fields explode with Dandelion
