Weed? Or Warrior?
Grandfather Dandelion explodes:
Birthed by wind,
And we’re scattered to the ends
Of this empty field.
God said,
Be fruitful and multiply
And why
Shouldn’t we do
Just that?
I’ve got a manifest destiny
And a mane full of babies
Ready to conquer
The world.

Interesting idea, though not the first I've read giving dandelions personality. I like how you applied the "be fruitful and multiply" to dandelions. Definitely gives them a nicely human touch.
And I might recommend you take out the 'and' in "And we're scattered the the ends". It's unnecessary and excess conjunctions can be cluttering.

A mane full pf babies is possibly one of the most amusing lines I have ever read in my life. I love it.
