DAFFODILS I think Nature is so wonderful,

And we just take things for granted.

Each year, my daffodils are so lovely, and

It's 22 years since they were planted.

But every year when they are open,

We get wind and rain.

It makes me feel they won't last long,

And just be spoiled again.

With some blown over, nearly touching the soil,

I'm saying a prayer - "Please don't spoil them all."

Then, after a few days, when the wind has gone,

They all straighten up again, thanks to a little bit of sun.

Yes, Nature is really wonderful. Mrs L Walton, Broadway, Farnworth
