Daisy
She is innocent
innocent and pure
like the white
she wears so gracefully
as she dances
through your life
she's like a child
whose eyes light up
at wonders
like snow and wildflowers
she thinks everything's
a miracle
everything's a miracle
to daisy
But even in her innocence
there's wisdom
you can't grasp
how can such a child
know so much
about the world?
she lectures you
with laughter
and you know that
right and wrong
are no mystery at all
they're uncomplicated
nothing's complicated
to daisy
She dances to a melody
you never really hear
except for
in the wind
and laughing stars
her dance sets you
dreaming
and you live your life
aspiring to cut in
but her devotion
makes it clear
you are not her partner
that partner is sacred
to daisy
She seems delicate
making you protective
as if you alone
can keep this flower
whole
but when she talks to God
her eyes close
with assurance
and you know
that she is carried
in her father's arms
and all the world is safe
everything is harmless
to daisy
But she isn't superhuman
or seeing sunshine
all the time
you've held her hand
and watched while
daisy cried
though you couldn't
understand it
you thought she looked
so beautiful
as tears of grief were falling
from deep within her eyes
everything is deeper
to daisy
She embodies fascination
a laughing dancing
wonder
and lets you know
that life will be okay
you know she isn't yours
but a part of you
is hers
just as part of everyone
is wrapped up in
the smile
in her eyes
everyone belongs in part
to daisy
A/N: A while ago, I looked into the eyes of someone I know, and this is what I saw. It's just taken a few months to get the wording right.
