First Daffodil I'm safe within my winter's bed, With covers piled upon my head, I sleep and dream, while storms march by And snow drifts from a leaden sky. Down here below, I'm not aware Of what is happening up there, But yet, one day, I will awake And know that it is time to take My journey towards a warming sun, To find that springtime has begun. I stretch my arms in gladness where I don the golden gown I wear. With frills and greenery in place, I bring a smile to every face!

Trillium, this is beautiful! We are in the South now and the flowers are in bloom, but all the years in Michigan, we waited for those green stems and leaves to come through the ground. And I can't count the times those beautiful flowers bloomed only to have it snow and cover all but the flower. A sad and great sight all in one. Great poem. ME |

Dear Betty; I love the imaginative way you have written this lovely poem! This put the magic of Spring into my step! Hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

This is truly lovely Betty. Next month we will begin to see the bulbs start blooming. These first signs of spring are so inspiring. Joyce |
