FLOWERS

By JAN GIBBERT

violets are pretty
roses are sweet,
but I have a daisy
to have for my keeps.

for as long as I live
and maybe longer,
to have a daisy
to show all my love.

a daisy to show
all of my love,
to keep till I find
my own "true love."

then I shall give
my daisy to him,
a daisy for him
to have for his keeps.

and if that daisy
should ever die,
the love that I have
will along with it die.
