bowed beneath the ice and snow~
   sunbeams pierce the cold

Your poem proves that one solitary good thing can endure all the bad this world can throw at it! Bless you dear poet!

A magnificent 'solo,' P.S! Here's to more piercing, more and more and more! ~ Sunny skies and Smooth Sailing, Gershon

Im in Texas and the weather is beautiful today—but we had a rare snowstorm with record low temps recently. Thank you for stopping by :)

yes, more blooms have followed and it feels now after the snow that an early spring is on its way :)

Thank you Geoffrey. We don’t get a lot of snow in Texas and I think the early daffodil was as surprised as the rest of us by our recent snowstorm :)
