Daffodils


Daffodils
I love early spring
Before it technically starts,
When the weather teases with sunshine
And the snow mounds truly depart.

I love early spring
When the trees are still bare
And the grass is still brown
And bulbs pop up everywhere.

I love early spring
With daffodil teacups
Bloom on their saucers
And other bulbs start to erupt.

I love early spring
Where on the table is a vase
Daffodil teacups stand tall on the table
So Dad can see the smile on her face.

I love early spring
As Mom’s birthday gets near
And her perfect match (my dad)
Arranges flowers for his dear.

I love early spring.
With the hope of long life and love
My mom and dad together
Like a gift from above.



I love early spring
And know that it’s true
Life must go on
But Mom, I miss you.

  1. BEAUTIFUL Jamie... just beautiful! I loved the repetitiveness of the first line as it reminds the reader just what you are thinking.

  2. Oh, Jamie - this poem is so sweet - truly artistic - the flow, the pace, the picture it paints for the reader - the last stanza is touching and a perfect way to end this poem!
