The Gospel According to a Dandelion

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: March 31, 2013

Easter lessons from a hated week…

Dandelions grow like weeds.
They multiply then go to seed.
But though they die and fly away,
it's clear they live again.

While Easter lilies claim top perch
when palms give way to blooms at church,
it seems that dandelions should
be front and center, too.

For after all, as St. Paul said,
we grieve for ones who are now dead.
But not as those who have no hope
since death has lost its sting.
