A Springtime Show A golden blanket spreading as far as the eye can see, stretching to the horizon, as if to infinity. Miles of yellow daffodils escaping the picker's greed, live to fulfil destiny for a weary world in need. No miser's gold can match them as a tonic for the soul. No written word is worthy their lush beauty to extoll. In their eagerness to charm us they have challenged ice and snow; while winter bowing humbly, acquiesces to their show.

  (smiles) Oh Joyce, this is soooooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, yay, I just saw the daffodils blooming Tuesday in Boulder along the creek, they are sooooooo beautiful and in fact I used to have a poetry forum titled "Dreaming With The Daffodils" (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Joyce, Floods of childhood memories for me in those flowers! Excellent write for the book. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
