They are Nature's natural survivors though they seem so dainty and small <br />And they bloom in all Seasons and weather In Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall <br />With yellow hearts and snow white petals the wildflowers everybody does know <br />Even on the coldest days of Winter they bloom in the shade by hedgerow <br />Wild daisies distinct from all others the flowers everyone recognize <br />They close their petals to the night air and open their hearts to the sunrise <br />Even in the coldest days of Winter the wildflowers one often does see <br />So dainty looking yet so hardy they always do look disease free <br />When I was young in depths of Winter they bloomed in the fields far away <br />The very same species of wild daisies I see in the town park today <br />They must have been around forever the hardiest of little wildflowers <br />They even bloom in the coldest of weather in the sleety and wintery showers <br />They are Nature's natural survivors the poets their praises do sing <br />They bloom in all Seasons and weather Summer, Autumn and Winter and Spring.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wild-daisies/
