I want to be a daisy
unassuming, humble,
Willing to share my joyful face
wherever I am found.
In a prairie of grass
Unseen,
And alone,
I will tilt my face
toward the Son.
Bordered by peonies showy dresses
or the scandalous red of poppies
I’ll not be intimidated.
I won’t droop in the rain.
I will stand tall
And outlast them all.
I will pretend nothing.
I will smile
And be content to be me:
A bloom,
A delight to my Maker.
I want to be a daisy.
Washed pure white
With a heart of gold.
Kristina is a follower of Christ in pursuit of un-wavering joy. She home schools her three kids and is married to an entrepreneur. Together they ride the roller coaster of new adventures. She loves living under the open sky of rural Minnesota where every farmhouse window gives view to the glory of God. I am so glad to have Kristina here to share these few words with a big heart. To learn more about her, visit her at A Joy Walk.
” I will smile and be content to be me…”
Difficult to do most of the time. I haven’t been “bloom-worthy,” but grateful that He watches over the wilting grass.
Thanks for a wonderful post Kristina. God bless.

Oh, Kristina! This is beautiful. I just love the parellels you’ve found and the word plays. And I fully want to be a daisy, too. Really enjoyed reading this.

What a wonderful poem!
“I want to be a daisy.
Washed pure white
With a heart of gold.”

Such a way with words. Thank you for sharing this.

I’ve always wanted to be able to do that. Take something as simple as a daisy and wrap profound thoughts around it. Beautiful.
Wonderful imagery. I especially resonate with not being daunted or envious about the beauty in others. I’m still working on feeling beautiful again after my last baby (20 months ago
. I think I’ll put the pic you chose up on my mirror to remind me of these strengthening words of quiet beauty….
