A FIELD OF DAISIES (Poem #93)



Daisies in the open field
Are blowing in the wind.
I want to walk into the middle,
But I don't give in.

Some are white with yellow centers
And have a dewy glow.
Others have brown centers
With petals of gold that show.

 I'd pick a single flower and
Hope the petals will know,
If he loves me; it may be yes,
Or maybe it will be no.

 But I don't want to disturb God's beauty
By picking a single flower.
 With beautiful sunshine on them,
Many will be delighted this hour.

 So join me by closing your eyes
And picturing a field of green,
With daisies, white and yellow blowing
In the breeze with gleam.

Jean Gorney

I wrote a poem for my daughter and new son-in-law and read it at their wedding reception in 1997. People have been encouraging me ever since. I try to write up-beat and happy poetry. My poetry has been in many anthologies, newspapers, church bulletins,etc. I won a small contest once. I self-published some small(4x5)books with about 16 poems in each that can be used as greeting cards. I include an envelope for mailing. Check them out on my FB page under Jean Magill Gorney. more…
