Lady Bird Loves Daisies for Themselves
Folder:
Flowers Sunspun Painters love flowers for their pastels.
Perfumers love blooms for their smells.
Bees other bees of blossom nectar tell.
Lady Bird loves daisies for themselves.
Wherever she has trod in the dell
flowertrails to Mother Earth befell
.. daffodils and larkspur and bluebells
daisies and trilliums and cockleshells

to Lady Bird Johnson,
a woman gracious
in suffering, a defender
of the underdog, a
universally compassionate
woman who included
wildflowers and wild places in her circle.

tapes re her defense
