Dandelion Wish

Size: 4.5"l x 4.5"w x 1.5"d p
Materials: porcelain, glaze, and fired on font, mounted on wood

Poem:
Praise hope that forces its way through the crevices of concrete
Insisting that beauty will flower

Praise the foot who steps on this tiny hope, crushes the flower but
Releases a new seed

Praise the breeze that carries the dandelion wish to the creek bank and
Takes root in the soil

Praise the weed whose cheerful prettiness bewitches a child to pick a
Handful for mom and set in a cup on the windowsill

Praise hope that forces its way through the crevices of concrete and
Softens the everyday
