A Daisy Smile

Sometimes life plays upon my memories, 
with many unfavorable uncertainties
and I am not willing to give in, 
to those sandpaper worries again

That somehow like to scratch and tear, 
at everything I hold dear.

So I bring my ordinary thoughts to this place, 
as a sturdy hand guides my mind with grace.

Leaving a daisy smile etched upon my soul,
carefully holding my delicate heart and never letting go.

I care how you came about your daisy smile. To know that uncertainty won't take it away is wonderful. I've always wanted a daisy smile to hide in a flower field just to see if I could find her...

This is a really great and beautiful write, our mind is full of good andbad memories and it s wonderful when life isn t going like we wantit to be and we are worried but at thst moment we remember the happy days, even for a few moments but they take us away from reality and in a world of happiness, they also give us the motivation to try again and don t give up for shrelt the happiness is on the way, good luck
