Love me, love me not
I was raised on a farm
Driving a tractor,
I saw those wonderful colors
And smelled those great fragrances
Of sweet clover, hay, mustard,
And wild daisies shifting all over the place
Following the mood of the wind
The bouquet was exquisite each day
And forever changing
Neurologically speaking,
Let say that the windy days have continued
Bringing on some unknown distractions at times
We lost a few petals here and there
We got twisted along the way
Maybe we have lost some shade too
But at least we are still standing,
One against each other,
Engaging in a sweet morning chat
With the fresh dew on our brittle petals
Really, we are proud daisies!
We are still standing and,
Wherever the direction of the windy breeze
Swings us, we allow the gesture
Because, for us, surrender
Has become, lets say… much easier
One petal here,
One petal there,
We share what we have left
And together,
Well, it feel so much better
And the field looks much fuller
Like children who are holding hands
In a fearful situation, or joyful one,
We are using our petals to find the complete connection.
Now we stand much stronger
As we all know,
It is about loving ourselves deep down
And open our heart and vision
So ,yes “Love me, love me not"
I must love myself enough
to respect others.
