Daisy Fields Remembered: A Collection of a Poet's Poems

Rate this book
Look through your eyes, but see with your heart,

the things that come and go in your life.

Some tasks will be heavy, and some will be light,

but to see with your heart, helps the wrong turn to right.



So look through your eyes, but see with your heart,

true feelings will then be inside each remark,

each action, each touch, each thought every day,

and life will have meaning in a beautiful way.



Through reflections on love, family, friendship, faith, nature, and life's changing seasons, Sandy Johnson offers readers a collection of uplifting poems that celebrate the beauty, hope, and meaning found in everyday moments.



For over thirty years, Sandy Johnson wrote poetry. Throughout the decades, her writing changed with time after the birth of her children, the joys of travel, and the loss of her husband. Now, she shares her legacy of poetry to the world and as a gift for her family. A collection of poetry of one woman who loved, laughed, cried. A woman who lived life to the fullest, now immortalized in words, forever.
