Daffodils

Here we stand brothers in arms
Green uniforms one and all
See us guarding nature’s charms
Our yellow plumes stand tall
Begone o’ winter’s discontentment
Begone o’ lonely cloud
For frosty Jack there’s no lament
We daffodils stand proud

The daffodil stems are so long an lean. Nice comparison to soldiers standing guard. Sometimes when they bloom too soon, Jack Frost makes an unexpected reappearance. Delightful poem! Best wishes, carolyn
