The Love Of Gardening


Garden Poem of the Day

Will to Live
By Mary Triplett

I think of all things that show a zest
For life, the dandelion beats the rest.
The little winged seeds from its white fluff ball
Settle and grow with no urging at all.
Settle in most unlikely places.
And soon there's a crop of dandelion faces.

They are man's worst pest, but a child's playthings.
Sometimes I wish I had light down wings
Like a dandelion seed, and could settle at will
On a velvety lawn or sun-spread hill,
And live with the eagerness and zest
Of the wanton little dandelion pest.
