Daes Eage

Nothing can brighten my day 
more than a simple bouquet.

Roses with a scent so strong
are not the ones for which I long.

Tulips welcome in the Spring
but do not make my heart sing.

I need delicate petals of white
that close up each and every night.

A yellow center, pretty, round, sweet
and if you wish, could be chosen to eat.

Petals that are perfect to pull and see
does he or does he not love me.

A flower that can grow wherever it wishes
can also be found on teacups and dishes.

So simple a flower some may find me crazy
because my favorite flower is the daisy.
