The Daisy

A daisy looses a pedal
Fall has now run deep
The ground gets cold and hard
She droops and begins to weep

Knowing the end is almost here
She edges toward the ground
With a slight and sudden shiver
In snow she soon will drownd

Mourning comes the sun arrives
Its a clear yet brisky day
She slowly rises up again
Nearby some children play

Before another pedal falls
A little girl walks by
Pulls the daisy from the ground
Then says" you will not die "

She takes it home gets a vase
Where she puts it in some water
Then Sets it in the sunlight
Just like her mother taught her

After about a week or so
A pedal falls to the floor
She lays her daisy in a book
Of memories she'll store

The daisy may have died that day
But that was not her end
She's in a book of memories
Kept by her little friend!
