To Daisy

When the world seems to me an unbearable place
And troubles weigh too heavily on my shoulders
And try as I may there can be found no solace
For my pain, my anguish, and my sorrow to soothe; 
When I feel like God and the angels all conspired 
To deny me the pleasures of wealth, friends, and fame
And thus alone I rue my fate and call for Death,
In silent cries, to come and my existence end.

Then I hear her voice and the clouds seem to dispel, 
With gentle tones that pull my feet back on the ground.
Her kindness, patience, care, understanding, and love
Awaken me from brooding too much on the dark;
Her tender touch calms the storm brewing in my heart, 
She drives away the raging demons from my mind.
Thus, when I no longer want to cling on to life 
She comes to me and somehow things turn out right. 

She lifts my mind from wallowing in misery
To a brighter and a more pleasant reverie.
