Daphne’s Gift
Daphne births winter magic
When other flowers hide
Dainty nosegays, so fragrant,
They send early valentines.
She smiles in winter
Through the fiercest storms,
Scent of Heaven’s smile,
Gossamer grace enchants snowflakes.
Sultry season of snow
Melts with winter sighs
As daphne exhales poetry
Through the winter’s vertigo.
One brave little flower
Blooms in frigid hours -
Daphne lifts the heart
With her selfless gift.
