Daffodils

Fields Of shiny golden hue Stretch forth before me and you They herald a brand new spring A truly, truly wondrous thing We will wade through that amber sea We'll run and leap and be so free Free as the birds that swoop and soar Free from worry and care evermore The earth brings us life anew Trees so green, the sky so blue As these flowers lift their gilded heads And dance in the breeze in their brown earth bed They beckon us to join them there To do much more than stand and stare We are filled with the life of spring And the joy that Gods good work can bring Though winters cold will come and go We won’t mind the ice and snow As we await that first gold bloom To take away the unending gloom To fill our hearts with joy and life To take away our cares and strife We owe a debt to this lovely flower It banishes sorrow with its golden power
