Dandelion Soup
Childhoods full of rainbows and ponytails
Running faster with new tennis shoes
Pretend witches brews and dandelion soup
So much magic
Yearning to grow up
High school full of football games
Cinema on Friday nights, movies not watched
Driving around and around through town
On top of the world
Off to college, or work, or family, or a combination of each
Balancing the social life with the academia or other priorities
Adulthood not quite what was imagined
Doing the best one can
Aging, a stopwatch with an unknown end
Health, an hourglass
We're all just a seed and a grain of sand from the end
Pick a dandelion
Draw a rainbow
Choose JOY while you can
