Searching For a Wise Daisy

I waded through a field of she loves me she loves me knots Needing to tie her bow to my happiness I searched vigorously Until I found that one wise daisy For I knew she was my forever My heart was incapable of being with anyone else I planned out the path To the aisle of our bliss For she was and is everything that matters That smile that breathes life into my days I feel comfort and excitement in her arms When I found her I had no need to look further I left the searching to the undecided The fickle fools Looking for their Jennie in a bottle With a glass held in a hand What's your sign Clever pickup lines Thinking them prettier With each sip of wine I preferred a softer approach Not particularly smooth or debonaire Yet she too miraculously was drawn to me Somehow able to see The spark within the blue of my adoring eyes Pupils dilated Increasing double in size Twenty two years Ten thousand kisses This is My witness My sweetie is the perfect Mrs. No field Of Daisies Will ever make This mind hazy For I know With all my heart She Loves Me So thankful We tied the knot!
