Butterflies and Daisies

Butterflies and daisies, orange and yellow day lilies, I'd love to take you with me, but I'm just too lazy, and you'd probably drive me crazy- for you have always, and you will always.... -AMAZE me. My dream has always been, to breath in a garden of zen, and float around like bubbles; and then pop, and do it all over again. For we don't pick our friends, only a few will stay, then they go right on their merry way. Unless you are you, they'd stay for eternity, and stay until the final day. An angel on a soft lily pad, with little critters keeping her company- Fields and fields of daisies, and butterflies surrounding all over me. Butterflies and daisies, purple and pink pansies, I'd love to pick you and take you home, Surely I am too lazy- You'd most likely drive my hunger crazy, For you, My love, have saved me- You have always, and you will always.... -AMAZE me. I posted this poem my first day here at Poetry Soup, but I actually wrote it July 2, 2005. It has always been one of my favorite poems I wrote for my hubby. Date Written: September 23, 2015

wow LuLoo I see you wrote this beautiful poem in 2002 and your talent shines through in every line. I now wish I had started writing sooner than 2013 but circumstances were not right until then:-)hugs Jan xx
