The Daisy

The Daisy                             January 19, 2005

Open to the whole wide world, 
It's a beacon of light for us to see. 
It's not so much inundated in elegance 
As it is just plain beauty, 
And sometimes, the natural is better 
Than what one can gather from the artificial. 
The daisy makes one wonder what God was thinking. 
A bright sunny middle, and we're all like the planets; 
Its white petals, simplistic in His sartorial genius. 
Yes. Mankind can take a note or two from it, 
For it appears to be unambiguously comfortable 
In its own skin. Or whatever those flowers call it. 
Anyway, I can only guess why the daisy is so beautiful. 
We should place it upon a pedestal.
