Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

A Springtime Serenade

It feels like spring is almost here despite a warning of snow, I fear
A handful of daffodils in a vase, their joie de vivre intoxicates me 
Warming my room with their gilded hue banishing my winter chills
Their glorious golden trumpets; a panacea for all winter ills 

Glimmering golden trumpets bursting forth from winter’s frozen ground
A springtime serenade they play arousing dormancy all around 
Whilst Mother nature gently wakes from her winter hibernation
Plants prepare their vibrant shades for The Annual Spring Celebration

Despite my aches and pains, another restless night I have survived
Beholding joy and magic; like the daffodils I feel alive 
Birdsong at the crack of dawn gently waking up my day
So in love with our beautiful World, I send up thanks for this day if I may
A precious gift sent from above, oozing with joy, overflowing with love

Hope and optimism garnered from a handful of daffodils saying spring is on its way…

I've just realised you're in Eastbourne, its a lovely part of the country though never been as nearest we got was a holiday to Bournemouth many years ago. Hope spring comes soon, its really cold and wet up here in Scotland, Have blessed weekend, Gordon Ann Gilmour January 14, 2019 at 4:12 AM Bless you Gordon for your lovely comments.
