The Little Daisy

The Daisy is a simple flower,
yet delicate in beauty.
Her petals soft and her delicate, her scent so bright and cheery.
But when she is drinking in the warmth of the sun,
that is when she shines brightest.
For the sun is the source of her energy which flows
through her green veins causing life to be portrayed
on her round petaled canvas.

But as the bees come to dance among the flowers
and tickle their noses, the little daisy gets distracted.
She only thinks about how nice it would feel to be
visited by a bee.
She felt certain that she would be complete
if only she had bee to complement her velvet fingers.
The little daisy becomes so enraptured with this idea
that she forgets all about the Sun.
Every morning she stands up tall and smiles,
but forgets to turn to the Sun.

At first the little Daisy was so happy
for she had many bees coming to visit,
but after a while she begins to wither.
Her colors fade, her petals droop,
and the bees no longer come to visit.
She tries so hard to attract the bees once more,
but they have abandoned her for better things.

She has no source of life.
and she will soon wither away and be forgotten.

But take heart little Daisy not all is lost!
For the Sun shines every day
and always gives nourishment to those who seek it.

With one last effort the little Daisy lifts her face to the Sun
for she knows this is her last hope.
She feels a tingle as her leaves soak up the warmth with fervor
and life flows once again through her delicate body.

Now the little Daisy stands once more
with her head lifted toward the Sun
as she basks in it's beauty.
She is once more her cheerful self
as she reflects to light of the Sun
as she was designed to do.
The familiar sounds of buzzing is heard
all around her, but she gives it no thought.
She only wants to reflect.

She barely notices as once again
she is visited by a single honey bee.
But even when she does become aware,
she shines all the more brighter.
