The Grasping Daisy
When my voice is unheard
in the busyness of each day-
I become like a Daisy,
reaching for the sun-
grasping for the attention
of those looking for a Rose.
Unnoticed because I am plain and ordinary-
not a vibrant hue of red,
as the rose is.
So I write.
Because as I write I am no longer a plain and ordinary Daisy-
I am a White Clover, asking to be thought of
I am a Forget-Me-Not, wanting to be remembered
I am an Iris, full of wisdom and hope
I am a Magnolia, I persevere
I am strong when I write, I am seen, I am heard.
All of these flowers are in me
all are visible in writing.
So as the Daisy in me grasps for the sun,
the others lie in wait
for when I write
Or am ready to show them all.
