Yellow Trumpets Full of Joie De Vivre

The time is here for me to take my journey to the sun
For spring will soon arrive and full of life my time has come
Winter months spent all alone, whilst bubble wrapped inside my home
Away from freezing frost and ice and winters gleaming snow
Sleep restored my equilibrium, essential for my golden glow
I gently wipe sleep from my eyes dressed in my best attire
For I am the prominent member of the annual springtime choir 
One final look before I leave; my manifestation inspires elation
Outfit complete as outside I peep, nearly time for the spring celebration
Metamorphosing into a daffodil; a golden gift for all to see
Gilded lights after cold winter nights; yellow trumpets full of joie de vivre

Ah, I love yellow daffodils. You are especially lovely as one, Ann. And I had thought you could not become one bit lovelier; now I know I was incorrect.

Oh Caren, I love your wonderful comments, they put a big smile on my face! It's a beautiful sunny spring day here in south east England, and the spring celebration is in full flow. Kindest springtime thoughts dear Caren, from your English daff... xx
