HERALDS OF SPRING

HERALDS OF SPRING

I picked some daffodils this morning

Not the bold and yellow kind ~

These were soft and small and creamy

And brought pleasure to my mind.

I placed them in a vase

And let my mind go wandering,

So many lovely, pleasant thoughts

As quietly I sat pondering.

These were planted just for me

And as the seasons roll,

They grow and blossom

And bring comfort to my soul.

I smell their heady perfume

As I view each petal small.

These flowers are so beautiful

I want to share them all.

Always I shall love them

And cherish every part 

Of this precious living legacy

Planted with love from the heart.
