From a seed inside the earth.
Pushed my way up through soil
I knew I had to become a
Whole flower with
Yellow, green center
White petals,
Long green stem
Drinks water.
Nourished by sunlight
I knew I wanted to be
Free, to
Live in the woods
Naturally, at peace
With all trees, plants
Around me.
Seed needed strength
To Push aside dirt, to bud,
To Flower.
I am designed to bring
Beauty, delight, and joy to
All creatures, beings who
Encounter me.
I am life.
I belong.
I have a home in the
Heart and soul of
The world.
I bring other flowers new
Buds. I give room for
Other buds to bloom,
Be whole, beautiful.
Leaves feed me food I require
To be
Full of life,
Connected to
All that is delightful.
I am a beautiful white wild daisy.

Your kind words continue to touch me deeply, Larry. Thank you so much, my friend. I appreciate you.
Dear Simon,
Thank you so much for your kind words of reflection. I remember when I spotted this tiny lone daisy on a quiet walk in nature. This moment with such a small beautiful flower inspired this poem as I reflected on how even something so small belongs to the world. Maybe I belong here too. How the natural world can exude love and happiness to the heart of human beings in a reciprocal relationship of awe, wonder, and even reverence. I know your passion for nature-so I trusted you’d enjoy this poem especially. And you are so welcome. My joy and delight, my friend!
With gratitude,
Laura
