She gave me a daisy with a smile, so much care
to not let these frail peteals fall.
"Daddy dearest I give you this as a token of
what I see in you,
"In me my little petal, what do you mean so,
She smiled and ran off into the garden a chain
of daisies was her creation on the table little hands
did do there magic and after what was a long time
two little hands and a curious mind created magic
in her eyes.
"Daddy you have the daisy still,
She smiles seeing that her daddy had kept the little
flower safe from harm not crushed or lost.
No it was in pride of place in her daddies shirt pocket
pocking gently out of the tiny button hole.
"Of course you gave it me my little daisy,
Her father picks her up and gently rocks her back and
forth. Her eyes wonder around the surrounding till
they close like curtains on the world. Hours pass and
she awakens to see her daddy cuddling her fast asleep.
"Daddy wakey wakey, rise and shine sleepy head,
He slowly awakens to rising arms and a almighty
yawn, She sneakily tickles his underarm and he lets
out a half yawn half giggling laugh.
"Cheeky little madam,
Laughter ensues while her dad chases her around the room.
"Petal what did you mean when you said you see me
in the daisy every day?
She smiles and holds her daddies hand placing another
daisy in his hand, composing herself she explains.
"Daddy each petal is a the amount of times you make me
smile each day, and the centre is the love I see in your
heart everyday,
"So this one is the all the smiles I have made you see?
Looking at her daddy she smiles.
"See daddy that's another petal you have given me,
"This one daisy is just the smiles that have blossomed
today since we woke up and laughter made more,
She jumps off her daddies lap and runs off into the
garden, daddy sits there a tear slowly falls down his
face she had made him happy with tears.
Calling him into the garden, telling him to close his
eyes as she steers him where she needs him to be.
"Sit down daddy please,
He sits down slowly so not to embarrass himself by
falling off the chair before he had even sat down.
Sitting she says "No peeking daddy its a surprise.
Eyes tightly shut hand over so no peeking can spoil
a little petals surprise that awaits her daddies eyes.
"Open up daddy this is what I made for you,
He opens his eyes and see a daisy chain that she worked
so ******* before. "What's this my petal,
She smiles from ear to ear as she ever so gently puts this
piece of work over her daddies head, it hangs so delicately
on his shoulders and then she tells him what it means.
"Daddy everyday I give you a daisy,
"This chain represents all the smiles and love that you have
given me every moment of ever day and this is just a symbol
of how many times you have done that this week,
He smiles and starts to cry, "Its ok daddy boys can cry too,
Hugging her he tells her that he is so happy and cant believe
what a beautiful little petal he has got in his life.
"Today petal gave me a daisy with a smile, and I cried,
She is my the little lady in my life, my daughter makes me
proud to be a father each and every day my petal..
