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
