my new gerbera daisy

 
I knew the moment I saw her  
she was coming home with me,  
 
underneath the elm tree, I mulched  
around the irises,  hoping they could see  
 
I planted my little gerbera
happy of the morning  –  it is the most special thing.  
 
this evening, I sat there with her dreaming
and I thanked the god of spring 
 
in the color of the jonquil wind  
that came upon and kissed my cheek.
