I shall lie among the weeds today <br />And forget the beauty of flowers. <br />For they are too precious to my eyes <br />To waste on lonely hours. <br /> <br />If I should know you're somewhere near <br />I would leave the weeds behind. <br />And lay in a field of daisies white <br />And let you fill my mind. <br /> <br />With tender thoughts and melodies <br />And come alive again, dear one. <br />And the weeds themselves would be elated <br />As they praised the flowers and sun.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weeds-and-flowers/
