Daisy Dreams
I remember
Being that little girl,
Holding that daisy, pulling
Each petal away while saying
“He loves me” then, “He loves me not”
Always hoping for the love that I could hope
Would be the love that came from the heart
I remember…
The hope for that feeling, that gentling, that tenderness
I remember… and yet, I couldn’t have believed
The wonderful I’d touch as I stroked the dream into
My own reality – with you, my inspiration, my rhythm
To all the music that pours out of me when I remember
I never ever felt this way when I pulled at those daisies
I never knew the intimacy or the beautiful that would stir
Within me when I am close to you, the one God gave me
To make my every dream come true, to answer the prayer
The hope that was spoken when I spoke, “He loves me”
Never in a million years did I believe
I’d know the wonder, the miracle of you
When I pulled that petal from the flower
The daisy that lies forsaken because I’ve found
This love I have with you is a love that grows stronger
Through the tears, through the fears, through the years
That daisy petal could never have predicted
The love I feel whenever I’m with you
The love that will always assure me – love this real
Could never be more beautiful that it feels when I’m with you
Living the dream that my heart never envisioned,
The dream that has taught me love is the whole reason for living!
