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.
