It depicts the themes of transience, life in the face of death, and the ignoble characteristics of death. Just like his mother, the dandelion was capable of transmitting the emotions and thoughts he had. The dandelion has a short lifespan, and once its journey is over, it is gone for good. Even though the garden he lived in had toxic soil, the dandelion was still able to stay alive (if only for a little while) in the wasteland. Finally, the brevity of the grass's life is overshadowed by the remaining beauty of the world, which depicts the author's feeling of being deceived by his mother's untimely death. Her life is gone like child's play, but her beauty will remain eternal.
