Feel a child's dream
As I hold you close.
Keep the words I want to scream;
But as soon as you grow up, feel free to expose.
I close my eyes
For that's the only way I can say
My wish for a simple prize
And my vow with you beginning this day.
Fly, my little wonder!
The world wants you to depart from me.
Wind will guide you as you wander
Until you land the earth that will love you wholeheartedly.
*Cypsela - (definition from Wiki) an achene-like fruit derived from the individual florets in a capitulum. (i. e. dandelion)
- with hair-like structures as an adaption for "flying" or seed dispersal
I haven't seen a dandelion ever; but when I was a child, I used to say some wishes on cypselas (I do not know the name of the weed, but it is not a dandelion.), then I'll blow them away. Cypsela is the scientific term for that fruit. It may be hard for you to accept that those little flying stuffs are fruits; but that's the truth. THE FRUITY TRUTH. :))
