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- 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.
