My Yellow Daffodil

Is it hard to believe?

It's only 70 degrees

But spring isn't due for a week

But there it is again

Alone on my lawn

That small yellow daffodil


It has come to my attention

That she

(Maybe he?)

Only blooms once a year

So early in the spring

But then never to be seen

Till spring comes back again


Do flowers get lonely?

I bet this one does

Right here, there is only one

He survives on his own

No one else to be known

But our fleeting presence


Now don't get me wrong

There are other flowers along

But no where close to him

Although similar in type

They are no where as bright

As my yellow daffodil


It's sad I only see

My daffodil once in the spring

Till his petals are forever gone

I'll just wait for then

When early spring comes again

And maybe share him with a  friend
