On A Personal Note ~

one

February
morning
it was a Sunday
so many years ago

twenty-four hours after

giving birth

something

went quite awry

I suddenly found myself

in an exquisitely

breathtaking

valley

walled by snow-capped

mountains

and an incredibly

blue sky

it was

however

the

unusually dense

carpet

of white daisies
in that valley

that captured my heart

it was with
some misgiving
that I heard
the obstetrician pleading
"come back"

since that time

I can no longer gaze

upon even
one

single white daisy

without being reminded

that something

and

Someone

far greater than
what I know

awaits

: :

for this

I remain
forever grateful
