Fortitude
Perseverance. To have the fortitude of this slight flower. A dandelion seed lands in a sterile sidewalk crack. It bides its time until enough moisture and nutrients inspire it to send down a slight anchoring root which it garnishes with a few stubby, sturdy leaves. One has to look close. It doesn’t shoot skyward but manages a single yellow flower, steady in its purpose. Against the odds, a mission is accomplished to small praise.
