WILD ABOUT DAISIES

My very favorite flowers

in all the world, you see,

are these small white wild daisies

that are smiling at me.

Such a sunny disposition

they have me in their power

I could happily sit among them

for hour after hour.

I delight to see a woodchuck

reach high to grab a flower

and pull it down to munch upon,

or should I say devour!

They grow in such profusion

all along the way

I visit and admire them

'most every single day.

Every dainty daisy white

causing me to giggle,

wears a tiny lacy tutu

with a sunburst in the middle.

I can't bring myself to pick them

though every year I try,

so beautiful right where they grow.

and they would only die.

So welcome back, sweet daisies,

to me you are so dear,

I'm so glad to have you back once more
to fill me with your cheer.
