Daffodils
In fields where laughter lightly treads,
Beneath the vast, embracing skies,
Daffodils, in sunlit beds,
Unfurl their hues as days arise.
With crowns of gold to greet the dawn,
They stand in throngs, a merry sight,
Upon the breeze, their fragrance borne,
They dance with sheer, unbridled delight.
No solemn oath nor whispered vow,
Yet in their presence, spirits lift,
As if each petal's gentle bow
Bestows upon the soul a gift.
Through winter's grip, they boldly slept,
To rise with spring's first warming kiss,
In their perseverance, secrets kept,
Of resilience, joy, and bliss.
So, let us walk this verdant field,
Where daffodils in splendor bloom,
And to their beauty, softly yield,
As they dispel the gloom.
