Lily loves Dandelions
Lily loved dandelions.
Not the way her mom did, with a sigh and a trowel, but with a wide, toothy grin. To Lily, dandelions were sunshine flowers, scattered across the green like tiny, happy suns.
One sunny afternoon, Lily was lying in the park, surrounded by her favorite flowers. A gentle breeze rustled the fluffy white seed heads, and Lily imagined they were whispering secrets.
"I wish I could fly like you," she whispered back to a particularly plump dandelion.
Suddenly, a tiny, tinkling voice answered, "You can, if you believe!"
Lily sat up, her eyes wide. A little, shimmering dandelion seed, much larger than the others, hovered in front of her.
