These persistent little flowers,
How abundantly they grow
Through sidewalk cracks and nurtured lawns,
And they put on quite a show.
They're mowed and trampled underfoot,
And yet still they reappear
So persistently determined,
For they never shrink in fear.
No one can deny their beauty
When a child before you stands
As he lifts his treasures upward
Clasped so tightly in his hand.
These true symbols of persistence
E'er remind us to hold fast,
Undefeated through life's trials,
Anchored sure in stormy blasts.
The little Dande"lion" roars
In triumph though it is small,
There depicting Godly courage,
Testifying to us all.

- I was born in the naval port of Norfolk, Virginia, the daughter of a US Navy Master Chief. With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
