If we didn't know dandelions were weeds,
would we love their sunny faces?
If we didn't know they were invasive,
would we stare in wonder
at fields of yellow?
If we didn't know they'd keep coming back,
would we let them be?
If we didn't try so hard to be rid of them,
would we appreciate their tenacity?
If we didn't know they were weeds,
would we love their transformation
into blow balls of seed?

Lovely to ponder. I think we would be happy when they made their appearance. They really don't last that long. Maybe we could learn something from them.
I read in today's news that tea made from the roots of dandelions (spring or autumn) may contain cancer-reducing properties. Perhaps they are worth more than we've guessed.
Yes, I believe we have cures and good things all around us that we have been lead to believe are merely weeds. (How else would big pharmaceutical com. make money).
