"For a Painted Daisy every day is a new beginning to start again,
to find beauty in small things, like a butterfly caress or a bee kiss."

Quote by _Constance

Ode to a Painted Daisy

I grew up surrounded by bright flowers,
my mom had a pretty cottage garden;
of vibrant blooms going on all summer,
my favorite was the Painted Daisy!
With lovely feathery green fern-like leaves,
multi-color petals and gold centers,
sparkling in the sun with bright rainbow bursts;
rich nectar bringing butterflies and bees!

Imagine ceaseless blooms in pinks and rose,
in purples oranges, yellow and white; 
from one glorious lovely summer plant,
sublime in gardens, a vase or as dried!
Oh, divine the steady stream of color,
it represents many things for this girl;
purity, love, energy, happiness, 
and joyful, boundless, endless memories!
