I picked a dandelion today,
and thought of you,
weed in hand,
always saying
"Life is grand"

And you were right, you know
even though in the end
your petals fell silent,
as the sap of you
fell by the wayside,
never re-seeding
life as you knew it.

But today,
the dandelion
offered the proof
you were right.

Life is grand.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Yes, life is indeed grand and it's amazing how those little things we take for granted are sometimes the exact things that remind us of that fact

And this also a grand read.  Thanks for sharing, so beautifully, your recollection of someone who inspired you to be positive and appreciate life.

LOL at some of these replies
yes, some days it IS a grand piano
falling on our heads
rather than pleasant notes hitting our ears
