daffodils in february

 in february when there should be frost

bright daffodils present in yellow bloom

such firm rejection of the winter gloom

 

it makes me smile not all the past is lost

and there are things that death will not consume

in february when there should be frost

 

we look on beauty and don't count the cost

of what it means to have full life resume

but take each step and see beyond the doom

in february when there should be frost
