Buttercups and Dandelions
This week I found a friend I haven't seen for over 50 years. This poem is about those innocent years between childhood and adolescence. Before the madness.
There was a time long ago
When children played outside
Jump rope and red rover

Hide and seek, count to 10
I can’t find you, I’m it again
BC (before computers), there was
A quiet time, she placed a buttercup
Under my chin, told me I liked butter
We made necklaces out of dandelions
Until they cut the lawns
And I cried for days because
The beautiful flowers were gone
I remember the girl with golden hair,
French twist and ponytail
A BFF today
I’m glad I found my friend again
And remembered a time
When life was a necklace
From a strand of dandelions
