'Dream of Daisies' (a Poem)

I recently wrote a poem called "Dream of Daisies." It's about childlike wonder, and how important it is that we maintain it, always, no matter what we end up doing in life. The poem was partially inspired by themes that have arisen in my #MarchMadness project.

Dream of Daisies

When we began to dream
– before we ever stood atop the mountain,
or heard the roar of a wish fulfilled –
We sat on the ground
(Childlike hearts,
Eyes of wonder)
And we made daisy chains.

When we next stand atop the mountain:
Showered with glory
Wishes fulfilled
Promises kept
And our mission complete
Let us remember to sit on the ground
And dream of daisies. 🌼
