She is the first to bloom in the spring, lifting her head towards the sun to sing of love and laughter, caring and giving, sharing the joy she feels in living. But each night as the sun leaves the sky, she lowers her head and begins to cry. Loneliness shadows her face in repose, Again he’s picked the tulip and rose. Always waiting to be chosen and then, always passed over again and again. The sun will rise and she will show the cheery face they all may know. But when again, she is passed by, The evening comes and she retreats with a sigh. Always waiting to be chosen and then, always passed over again and again. No one can tell during the hours of light, of the secret desires that haunt her night. To never be left alone to die never again, alone to cry. Always waiting to be chosen and then, always passed over again and again. Pick me she sighs, pick me please… but behind the smile, no one sees The tears that are shed with a silent moan, she is never chosen she dies alone |

This is a beautiful poem. daffodils are one of my favorites. They bloom here in NC just as the crocus blooms are dying off. Again..lovely Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Sharon, I've been waiting on you to submit this poem ever since the program started. This is one of my favorites. Not just from you, or from Passions, it's one of my all-time favorites. I have it hanging on my wall, and I want it on the front page of this book!

Sharon, Daffodil a beautiful flower, as you are hon Voted! Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |
