Gary Smith Poet Couplet

A Daffodil Stood Sentinel

Today I saw a daffodil
'Twas unaccompanied but still

Despite its lack of company
It filled my smiling heart with glee

Towards the Sun its trumpet pointed
Head held high as one anointed

"How beautiful," I quietly uttered
'Tis yellow as the purest butter

With stalks and leaves of verdant green
I found it charming, quite serene

So there it stood this golden bell
A daffodil... stood sentinel.
