Daffodils

I saw a lonely daffodil
staring from the windowsill,
placed inside a crimson vase,
instead of dancing with the stars.

It seemed quite sad to see it there,
a tragic chance for one so fair;
but there was little I could say
to help improve its final day.

Nature lets them sleep in June,
and even though they’re gone too soon,
in March they’ll come again, but still,
what of the lonely daffodil.
Long time a child and still a child
