The Daffodils
The daffodils are cropping up;
They’re sprouting everywhere,
Reacting to the light and warmth –
Of germs, they just don’t care.
They do not know from quarantines
Or canceled sports events
But proudly wave their yellow heads
With joyous spring intents.
They’re unaware of closing schools
Or empty stores and trains,
Just bobbing in the sunshine
And awaiting April rains.
To see the daffodils today
Was Nature’s humble gift
Bestowing, in this stressful time,
A sorely needed lift.
