Polling Dasies

If only we had met yesterday
When love was new to both of us
and untarnished and dreams,
Fashioned by hope and laughter
Were made without question and
Rose colored glasses were not a joke!

If only we had met yesterday
When in our youth, "Promises were made
to be broken!" was not the rule, and
the ache in our hearts was made by
Cupid's arrow answering a call to love...

Yesterday, it was so simple to pull the
Petals from a daisy and he love me was
Always the last petal to be polled.
Today, the daisy's won't tell!
Today, you belong to another!
Where were you yesterday, 
When I needed you?
