Daisy Pines

What I was once I'll never be again For too long I've stood open under sun I peeked at dawn with eyes that shone brightly And bloomed full unto perfection, then stood Gazing firm into mid-day's scorching glare Though I grew weary, my vigor wilting, Twas evening's light that brought me sweet respite And I gave way to slumber this good night.
